Early morning conversation about time with a 7-year-old granddaughter

Granddaughter: When will you go to the shop for a roll? Grandfather: At about 8. Granddaughter: How long is that from now? Grandfather: About an hour and a quarter. When do you go to school? Granddaughter: I don’t know. Grandfather: You live in a world without time. How do you know when to get up? Granddaughter: I wake at a random time and go and get into bed with Mummy and Daddy. Grandfather: There is a time to wake and a time to sleep. There is a time to be born and a time to die. There is a time to know time And a time without time. Soon you will learn about time, And then you will live in a world of time, Man-made time. God’s time is beyond us Granddaughter: Is it time now to go for a roll? Can I come with you?
