In the middle of our Easter feast, I was sitting next to my 8 yr old grandson when he asked our house guest how long he had been here.
Otto said: I think I got here Thursday night around 9pm.
Conner asked me how many hours that was & I counted in my primitive way

: 24+24+12+5=65 hours.
I asked Conner how many minutes that was.
Conner, not looking up from playing with his mashed potatoes and gravy said: "I don't know, grandma, but it's two thousand & thirty four thousand seconds". Everyone just looked at him, I grabbed the calculator.
FYI 65 hours=3900 minutes=234,000 seconds.

Happy Easter

ps: I told him that it was 234,000 he said that he had not learned to count to hundred thousands yet, just up to 99,999.
