This post was written by Cindy Barnes an Allen Tate Realtor and our CMF Modern Grandma:
Ever talked about time with a four-year-old? My grandson Graham and I discovered that it is all relative during breakfast on the patio. I’m not sure who was more confused. It started simply enough. “Grandma, my cousins Winkin and Weswey (Lincoln and Wesley) are coming tomorrow and they will spend the night with me in my tent.”
Having some knowledge of the situation, I said, “No, Graham, they are coming today.”
“But, Grandma, Mommy said that they are coming tomorrow.”
“Yes, but she said that yesterday and now tomorrow is today.”
“But, Grandma, today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow. She said they are coming tomorrow not today.”
“I know but now tomorrow is today.”
“No, Grandma, tomorrow is tomorrow!”
Graham, I think you’re going to get a nice surprise today. Abbott and Costello*, you’ve got competition!
