You...Just Watch
“Do you have the time?”
I had never seen this youngster before – I would have remembered.
“Of course,” I replied. I looked at my watch and told him the exact time.
“No, that’s not what I meant. I would like to know if you have the time.”
“Well, I’m a bit ahead of schedule right now. So, yes. Sure. I can spare a few minutes. What is it you wanted to talk about?”
He shook his head and walked away slowly.
“Judging by your answers, you are not the one who has the time. You’re the one with the watch.”
