Who’s On First?

Yesterday I honestly thought I was in a very bad version of the popular “Who’s on First” skit made famous by Abbott and Costello. The Big One is still struggling with the concept of time. So this is how our day went:

The Big One: Mommy after my first sleep, it will still be tomorrow, right?
FixItMommy: What do you mean after your first sleep?
The Big One: Mommy, after my first sleep it will still be tomorrow.
FixItMommy: Well, today is Sunday. After your nap, it will still be Sunday.
The Big One: But after my first sleep it will be tomorrow.
FixItMommy: Baby, after your nap it will still be Sunday. After you go night-night, it will be Monday when you wake up.
The Big One: When will it be tomorrow?
FixItMommy: Tomorrow is Monday. After you go night-night and wake up it will be tomorrow.
The Big One: So after my first sleep it will be tomorrow?
FixItMommy: Let’s try this again. After you take a nap it will still be today, Sunday. After we have dinner, tubby time and go night-night and then wake-up it will be tomorrow, Monday.
The Big One: What’s Monday?
FixItMommy: Tomorrow is Monday. Remember there are seven days in a week. Monday is the first day of Daddy’s work week.
The Big One: When will Daddy be home for seven days in a week?
FixItMommy: Daddy works for five days and then is home for two days on the weekends.
The Big One: But when will Daddy be home for seven days in a row? Tomorrow will Daddy be home for seven days?

And so it went. . .
