So, I ask myself, What’s the math behind this cake batter tribute?
17 years multiplied by 365 days equals 6205 days.
Wow! I’ve made a lot of breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Birthday boy eats a lot.
6205 days multiplied by 24 hours equals 148,920 hours.
Happy, sad, grumpy, anxious, sleepy, disgusted, surprised, angry, bored, scared. Together, we’ve experienced it all.
148,920 multiplied by 60 minutes equals 8,935,200 minutes.
We’re in the millions? No wonder sometimes we need a break from each other!
Drum roll please — —
8,935,200 minutes multiplied by 60 seconds equals 536,112,000 seconds.
Gulp! That’s a lot of time. Where did it all go?
This exercise serves as a reminder to appreciate every second. And, it was a good opportunity to use the calculator.
For you, too?
If you’ll excuse me — I need to spend some minutes frosting a cake.
