We were driving down to Carolina for my mom’s surprise birthday party last weekend. Coming from DC area that can be anywhere from a 4-8 hour trip depending on the traffic. Of course we are in the age range of hearing the “Are we there yet?” throughout the trip. About 2 hours outside of our destination, Nariah wakes up and asks “How much longer before we get there?”
“Oh… looks like about 120 minutes”
“Awwww man… 120 minutes? How many hours is that?”
“You tell me? How many minutes are in an hour?”
“Do I have to? 60….”
“Yup! Math is everywhere! So if 60 minutes are in one hour, how many hours until we get there?”
“Ugh…. I know its gonna be way more than I want it to be”
Math lesson was officially over as I laughed at that response while she got more annoyed in the back seat and went back to sleep.
