Episode 190: I Know What Time Is Until Someone Asks Me What Time Is

Terrastina puts a pot of potatoes on the stove. Hey Moz, she says, what time is it? Mazolli checks the clock. Straight up one o’clock, he says. Terrastina tilts her head. One o’clock? You sure? Mazolli checks again. Oh. You’re right. It’s twelve oh five. I must have gotten the hands mixed up. I never noticed that before, how five past twelve looks the same as one. You ever notice that before Terr? Not really, says Terrastina, but I knew something was wrong. I knew I didn’t lose almost an hour of my life. I was sure of that.
