Telling Time

Madeline: I'm ready to get up.
Ingrid: What time is it? Can you read me the numbers on the clock?
Madeline: 5-5-6...now 5-5-7.
Ingrid, thinking: Really? Well, 6 isn't so bad.

After laying in bed as long as Madeline will allow, Ingrid gets up and puts her glasses on, glances at the clock. It's 5:36. Note to self, work on differentiating between a digital "5" and "2."
