Conversations with Colin: What’s the Time Part II

Getting out of the car after school:

Colin: “What is the time?”

Me: “Time to get ill!”

Colin: “Mom. That is the answer to the question, ‘What’s the time?’ I asked you, ‘What IS the time?'”

Me: “Time to get ill!”

Colin: “MOM! No. You are answering the wrong question. When I say, ‘What IS the time?’ you need to answer me with the time of day.”

Me: “Huh. But that’s not nearly as much fun.”

Colin: “I’m not asking about fun. I just want to know what time it is.”

I’m still doing this parenting thing all wrong.
