Out of the mouths of babes

Me, to the Silly Goose:  Have you done all your homework?

Goose:  Yes.

Me:  Including the reading?

Goose:  Yes.

Me:  How much reading?

Goose:  250 minutes.

Me:  You haven't been HOME 250 minutes.  250 minutes is just over four hours.  Are we perhaps a little confused here over the difference between 25 minutes and 250 minutes?

Pirate:  Perhaps she read fast.

In the words of Hollywood comedy synopses, "Hilarity ensues."

Possibly. Though frankly I doubt I'll ever live anywhere else again. But admittedly never is a very long time.

Is that for very large values of never? or very small ones?

;)

In this case I'd go with the probability of largish values of never. :D
