Time Change...

My children experienced something for the first time yesterday!
TIME CHANGE!

Living in Arizona (right now we are living in NC for a few months) we are lucky to not have to change time 2 times a year! Therefore, we have never had to explain it to our kids.
Jon and I knew we were loosing an hour of sleep on Saturday night that we would probably never get back...our kids didn't really pay any attention to it...until last night when it was time to go to bed!
It was still very light out! They wanted to go outside and play and COULD NOT understand why they couldn't if it was still light out. When I tried to explain how the rest of the country wants more light at night to do stuff rather than the morning, Andrew (6) thought he should go outside and play, that is what it is for. I said no, it is bed time now.
Andrew: Why is it light out still then?
Me: Because yesterday at this time it was supper but now it isn't, it is an hour later...
Andrew: You mean right now is really supper time not bed time? Where did the hour go?

I felt like we were going in circles to try to explain to him.

Finally, I said...ask your teacher at school tomorrow...she can tell you!
I have learned that teachers know everything, at least more than me, so why not use that to my advantage this time and let her try to get him to understand! :)
