My 6 yr old can't understand why I do this. I hope he grows out of it, now you have me worried.My 16, 15 and 13 year old all get annoyed when I round time to the nearest 15 minutes.
"It's about 5:45."
"Dad is wrong, it's 5:42."
My kids will not have a good concept of time due to the number of times I respond with, "give me a minute". For some reason they don't understand that it really means 5-10 minutes. They should also realize that "give me a second" means in about a minute but less than 5, and for an unknown reason a "quick second" is going to be closer to that 5 minute mark...
