Time

Just a few weeks ago my youngest son had a very interesting conversation with my wife. He started by commenting that “the day after yesterday was a great day.”

To clarify, my wife corrected by asking, “Do you mean the day before yesterday?”

“No.”

“Do you mean today?”

He responded flatly with, “No. I took a time machine back a day.”

It’s no secret that he and my wife look at time differently. My wife is very punctual. The adage “if you’re on time, you’re late” is very true for her while my son is a bit more relaxed. I realize he can’t tell time just yet, but he really operates on his own time. Some days I can really appreciate his perspective – especially when I’m not on a tight schedule.

What say you?
