I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Sweetie: You have dodged my question, Lady Human. What is time? And what does it have to do with those boxes in your hands or those circles on the wall with moving sticks stuck on them?
Doodlebug: I do like the one with the skinny red moving stick that goes around and around and around…
Sweetie: Yes, I know. Tedious.
Me: You know how the sky gets dark and then it gets light again. Well, people measure time on earth by how fast the earth turns in front of the sun. So if a clock says 8 a.m., we have a good idea how much light there is left in the day.
Sweetie: So the clock is time.
Me: No, clocks measure time here on earth and the time it tells is different depending on where you are.
Sweetie: Tedious.
Me: You have no idea.
MoonCat: Yeah, I have an idea, just by listening to y’all talk about it.
