watch yourself one of the most important things we as parents do is we teach our children about time we teach them important things like reading the clock you actually think that's important going to teach you to read the clock going to teach you to read the time why why because it's important that you know the time why because how how would you know when to get up to go to school mommy would make me what if mommy wasn't there you you'd wait me what if we both weren't there wouldn't go to school how would you know when breakfast was I'd be hungry shut up somebody came along to you and said what time is it and you didn't know you'd feel stupid why didn't he feel stupid he didn't know let me go through this whole thing going to teach you I did it myself my son going to teach you how to read the clock this is a clock it's not actually a clock it is a clock but it's not a clock it's a watch it's called a watch it's a wrist watch because it's on my wrist yes it's a wrist watch because it's on my wrist and I watch it yes it's very good now there's time is made up of zones periods of time all right there's there's hours a minute no not hours no they're not hours they're hours they don't belong to us it's a different spelling h o u r s not Howards it's silent I don't know now on every day there are 24 hours 24 of these hours 12 in the day and 12 in the night I know I said there are 24 hours in the day 12 in the day 12 in the night but a day is made up of a day and a night what are you stupid I couldn't very well say Monday Monday night everybody knows when I say Monday I'm talking about the 24 hours now shut up and listen now on every clock or watch there are three pointers they're called hands all right they point to the hour all right understand that there's the our hand that's the first hand the our hand the second hand is the mided hand and the third hand is the second hand shut up we'll do away forget about the third hand forget it it's gone all right it's gone now we have two hands on the face of the clock there are two hands all right there's the r hand which is the fat hand and there is the thin hand which is the minute hand so you have a fat hand and a thin hand all right fat hand hours thin hand minutes right now up the top of the clock you see the number up there one and two one and two is 12 it's not three it would be three if you joined them together we already have a three here on the side by itself we don't need two bloody trees on a clock so it's 12 all right one and two is 12 so when the fat hand and the thin hand are pointing at the one and the two it is 12: in the daytime because it would be dark and you wouldn't be able to see it how the thin hand starts to move away from the fat hand it likes the fat hand yes it likes the fat hand but if it wants to tell the time it has to go away from the fat hand so it moves away from the fat hand leaving the fat hand at the one and the two and then it comes over to the one here by itself you see the one to the right of the one and the two now that one one is five because it is it's five two is 10 three is 15 4 is 20 5 is 25 6 is a half half because 12 is the whole so six is the half 7 is 25 to or 35 past so now what's actually happening is a thin hand is moving around the clock from the one to the two which is a five of the 10 and while he's doing that the fat hand is moving slowly away from the one and the two yes because fat hands move slowly that's right fat things waddle away yes that's it and now by the time the fat hand has got around to the one which was the five when the m hand was pointing at it and the one has come back right up to the one of the two it is now what time it is not 5:00 it's 1:00 because when the thin hand points at it its minutes the F hand point it's an hour now you be a good boy and learn how to read the clock and I'll buy you a digital watch right well that'll that'll K you ladies and gentlemen um I think it's about time I went thank you very much for listening very good lovely audience to work to hope you've enjoyed yourself take care have a good New Year and a continued good life don't just finish at the end of the year tonight thank you may your God go with you oh
