When I was little my mom picked up some KFC and I was very eager to eat it. So I was complaining that I wanted to eat right away. My mom then told me, "we'll be home in a second". I had never heard this phrase before, but I had heard of "in a minute" and knew that meant soon. So, not knowing how long a second would take, I complained and said, "not even a minute?" My mom then explained to me that a second is less than a minute.
