The Concept of Time

Grandpa Fields will be here in five minutes!

No, Grandpa Fields will be here next month!

Yes, Grandma and Grandpa Fields are coming! Will they be here after my nap?

No, They will be here in a few days.

A few days? That's five minutes! Look at the clock - it says five.

Let's look at the calendar.

The cawnder?

Yes, this is a calendar. Each box means one day. See, here is today, here is tomorrow, here is the next day and the next day.... Let's count how many days until Grandma and Grandpa come to visit. (Together) one, two, three..... See, Grandma and Grandpa Fields will be here in 34 days.

34 days! All right! Grandma and Grandpa Fields are coming in 34 days! Is that five minutes?

No, it's longer than five minutes.

Oh, it's two minutes! Yay! Grandma and Grandpa Fields are coming in two minutes. But I have to take my nap first.

I'm glad we had this conversation.
