The Clock Says Time is Money

Pia hasn't learned to tell time yet.  All she knows about hours is that at 3 o' clock, school is out and it's time to pick up her brother. 

It's also time for her to persuade us to bring her along to school for the pickup.  Being too young for school, she spends her days inside the house.  Understandably, she is excited every time there's a chance to get out. 

So when we decided to spend the afternoon at the nearby playground, she readied herself very quickly, putting on her outdoor clothes and jacket. 

After getting dressed, she noticed that, not only was the rest of the family not yet ready, they did not even seem to be in a hurry. 

So she pointed to the wall clock and called out:  "Mommy! Hurry up, it's already ten dollars!"
