My Favorite Conversation with a Student Today

It was an email conversation last night, actually. (I wanted to wait and ask his permission to share it with you, and he said I could.)

Last week the U.S. sprung ahead for Daylight Savings Time. In Bahrain, as in most of Asia, there is no such time change. We had this conversation through email.

S: Hi Mrs. Denise, the time in the U.S. has jumped ahead 1 hour!!!

😮😮😮

Me: Yes, that’s right! I’m glad we don’t change!

S: I saw that from the slice of life challenge website that at 2am u.s time, they jumped ahead one hour that means they became 3 am !!!

I didn’t respond again at that time, but a week later, he sent me a followup email:

Does Donald Trump changed it?

  1. Oh, my! On the one hand, this is funny. On the other hand, it’s very disturbing. I had a friend whose son was once totally preoccupied with where that hour went. He was determined to stay awake all night to be alert when it disappeared.
