The other day I was driving Owen home from school when we had a discussion. I'm sure, based on Owen's personality, that I will have many more discussions with him like this in the future.
Owen: You shouldn't have picked me up from school yet! It was SO SHORT!
Me: Well...
Owen: And yesterday it was short too!
Me: Honey, school is always the same length of time. Isn't it funny how sometimes, if you're bored, it seems long, but if you're having so much fun, it goes really fast? You must have been having fun today.
Owen: Yeah.
(Pause)
Owen: But it was still short.
I gave up. On the one hand, yes it is short - believe me, I know. Two and a half hours doesn't let me get much done other than drive, eat lunch, clean up, and then drive some more. But we are clearly not in agreement about the absoluteness of the amount of time involved. I've learned that with Owen, it's best to let the little things go.
