While having quiet time, I noticed Madelyn playing with her alarm clock over the video monitor. This entire conversation happened over the intercom on the monitor.
Me: Madelyn, what are you doing?
Madelyn: Looking at my clock. How much longer do I need to have quiet time?
Me: About another half hour.
Madelyn: How long is a half hour?
Me: 30 minutes.
Madelyn: What time is it now?
Me: 1:36.
Madelyn: When is a half hour?
Me: You can get up when the big hand on your clock is at the twelve at the top.
Madelyn: But the hand isn't at the twelve!
Me: You'll just have to wait until it's at the twelve.
Madelyn: How about if I turn the dial to get it to the twelve?
Me: No because then your clock will be wrong.
Madelyn: Why would it be wrong?
Me: Because the time it says wouldn't be the actual time that it is.
Madelyn: Oh.
