Calvin has been borrowing his dad's watch of late. He cons Eric into relinquishing it while he's still half awake, slips it on to his own wrist and by the time Eric leaves for work, none of us have any idea where it is.
Solution: a watch for Calvin!
His response to the $6 digital with a few Cars on it was utter delight. "A watch for me?! I can wear it all the time, every day!"
Once fastened, we spent a few minutes identifying the numbers on its face; they change every sixty seconds! And we talked about the term o'clock.
"Yeah, he said, "but when it's on my wrist it's five o'watch."

Just overheard in the family room:
Calvin picks up a play phone and calls to me, "Mom, I'm calling Ethan's mom to see when he's going to school."
Now, what follows was a conversation with himself, of course, but he played both parts so beautifully that I need to name each character.
Calvin: Hi, Ethan's Mom? When are you taking Ethan to school today? Are you going when I'm going? This is Calvin Anderson.
Ethan's Mom: Calvin Anderson? Wow, that's a cool name.
Calvin: Thanks. What's your name?
Ethan's Mom: Cherith Anderson
Calvin: Cherith Anderson? That's my mom's name, too! Ok, see you at school.
