What time is it now?

AJ spent the afternoon with Mimi. She wrote to me about it in an email tonight. You'll notice that he really loves his new Dollar Store watch.
This has been borrowed from my mother-in-law's email without express written consent: :)

His new watch kept him busy the rest of the afternoon's errands. "It's 12:15. " " " "(59 times) . It's 12:16! " " (59 times.)  It's 12:17!  He timed everything we did. Can we make it from the Gazette to the Alberta Bair Theater in 3 minutes? Yes we can! "Just as I predicted," he said. So if the watch quits tomorrow, we got a dollar's worth of good out of it today.
