“Yummy!” exclaimed
Ethan’s sister Emily from her
high chair at the end of the
table, clapping her hands.
 “Well, I would like fifteen
minutes of pie please.” Ethan said
with a big grin as he sat back down at
the table.
“Fifteen minutes of pie,
what does that mean?” Asked his
brother Jason, who was a couple
of years younger than Ethan. He
was very confused.
“Mr. Lavel is teaching us
about time in school.” Ethan
replied. He was in second grade
and they were just starting to learn
how to tell the time on a clock. “He
told us that the clock
