Fifteen Minutes of PieBy Nikki Aksamit

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 of pie, what does that mean?” Asked his brother Jason, who was a

couple of years younger than Ethan. He was very confused.

“Mr. Lavel is teaching us about time in school.” Ethan replied. He was in 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 you have ten minutes of pie and save some for the rest

of us!” she answered.
