A drive home and some mathematicians

It went like this:


Trevor: I have to go potty!!!

Me: Okay, honey, we'll be home in about 4 minutes.

Trevor: 1, 2, 3, 4. Okay, well, we're not home.

Me: No, that's 4 seconds. 4 minutes is longer....Basically, you have to count to 240.

Trevor: Well, I can't do that, but Paigie can.

Paige: (after a glance at me in the rear-view mirror and a short pause) Okay, Trev, count to 10.

Trevor: 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Paige: Now, you just need to do that 24 times.

(My passengers proceeded to count to 10---24 times....)

Paige (to Trevor): Can I tell you something? You just counted to 240!

Trevor: Hmm...well, we're still not home yet.

So Paul is officially a licensed architect in Arizona. He is taking the oral again in Jan. Hopefully it goes well and we stay in CA. If not... I'll be calling you.
