TODAY'S SMILE
In my English-as-a-second-language class, I explained the
difference between a watch and a clock. I told the students that
when it was a large timepiece on a wall and not attached to your body, it was called a clock. When it was worn on
your body, it
was called a watch.
A few days later we had a power outage, and our classroom clocks had
not been reset. I asked Luis, who was wearing a wristwatch, for the
time. Luis looked at his wrist, and then confidently announced,
"It is exactly ten o'watch."
