As I was getting more mature, I started getting allowance for my chores. I was saving up because at my age there wasn't much I wanted to buy.
I was also discovering the concept of time. I was determined to know what time bed time was, and when I had to wake up and so on. I constantly asked my father what time it was so I could memorize such things.
After finding out how much allowance I had saved up, he told me,
"It's time for you to get a watch!"
everytime I asked for the time. I figured that it was an actual time of day and told everyone else the same until I actually bought a watch.
