Fifteen Minutes of Pie

The Everson family – Mr. and Mrs. Everson, their sons Ethan and Jason, and daughters Hannah and Emily – were gathered around their dining room table finishing up Sunday dinner.

“What’s for dessert, Mom?” Ethan asked as he helped his mother clear away the last of the plates.

“Your dad baked an apple pie.” Mrs. Everson answered. “Yummy!” exclaimed Ethan’s sister Emily from her high chair at the end of the table, clapping her hands.

“Well, I would like fifteen minutes of pie, please.” Ethan said with a big grin as he sat back down at the table.

“Fifteen minutes pie, what does that mean?” asked his brother Jason, who was two years younger than Ethan. He was very confused.

“Mr. Layel is teaching us about time in school.” Ethan replied. He was in the second grade and they were just starting to learn how to tell the time on a clock. “He told us that the clock can be divided into four fifteen minute sections, like the pieces of a pie. Fifteen times four is sixty and there are sixty minutes in an hour.”

“Very good, son!” Mr. Everson said smiling.

“So then may I have fifteen minutes of pie, please?” Ethan asked again as his mother placed the dessert on the table. Hands on her hips, Mrs. Everson looked at her son. “How about yohave ten minutes of pie and save some for the rest of us!” she answered.
