Five Minutes

We have no concept of time 'round these parts, and I'm speaking in particular about the 3 year old. But at some point somebody told him he could do something for five more minutes. And now? We're hearing it all the time.

Eli it's time to take a bath. Five more minutes Mommy

Eli it's time to go night-night. Eni pway for five more minutes watch Cars movie

Or my favorite: Eni wake up go St Luke school pway five minutes

He's all about the playing ("pwaying"). And in particular the five more minutes. Heaven help us when he actually figures out how short those five minutes truly are - he'll be asking for sixty instead!
