THE ADVENTURES OF JJ PICKLETOES

I have been wondering. 

Have you ever wondered about it? 

If I have been wondering about something, perhaps other people have been wondering about it as well. 

What is that analog clock all about anyway? 

There are 3 hands, that go around and around and around, and around all day and all night long. 

What is the point of this analog clock, when you could have a nice modern digital clock that would just show the exact time? 

.

Analog clocks don’t just show you the time, they show you the relationship between NOW and sometime in the past or sometime in the future. 

.

Also, you don’t see what time it is now, but how long it will take to the next event. 

.

Enough about all that educational stuff. 

.

There is a teenage boy that I know, who is in grade 12, he probably doesn’t know how to read an analog clock. 

He also doesn’t know what that red octagon sign at the corner means either. 

I don’t want to end up like him. 

.

Grandpa says “his grandchildren will learn to read an analog clock.” 

That is an excerpt from his up and coming book. 

“Things Grandpas should teach Their Grandchildren.” 

He is working on it as we speak. 

.

If he wants me to learn to read an analog clock, he is probably using a fountain pen to write his book. 

I wonder how many times the hour hand will have to go around the clock before an old guy like my Grandpa will finish writing his book? 

I wonder if he knows about computers? 

.

I have a question about the kitchen clock.  

Am I ever going to be able to reach it? 

It seems so high. 

.

I have a far more important question. 

It is about the relationship with time. 

.

When. 

.

When am I going to get my breakfast? 

.

I will probably have to make my own breakfast, 

 Again. 

.

Can you tell time with an analog clock or watch? 

Let me know in the comments.
