What time is it?
“No nap time!!” It’s a happy hollar, a joyful call for the end of rest time, but when sounded at 5am it’s not welcome.
Daylight savings is a joke and not a funny one. Is there a way to have it apply only to households where all members can read time? At what age do kids start to read time? My kids only know “mommy-time” — you know, “bed-time”, “nap-time”, “lunch-time”, “reading-time” and the like. They have no concept of actual numeric time. When does that come? About the same time I’ll finally get to sleep in. And why doesn’t Ecclesiastes mention “a time to sleep?!”
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”
