A Theory
I'm early to everything. Eli 23.3 is, too (unless he's doing something with me, when he gets to invoke the Parent Exception).
Gloria was always late. To everything. It happened so consistently, despite her efforts, that I began to suspect it was hard-wired.
I decided to test our perception of time. I wrote about this years ago, but if you didn't see the post, here's a short summary.
I started a stopwatch and stopped it when I thought 1:00 (one minute) had elapsed. :57 seconds had actually passed.
Eli was in the same range.
To Gloria, though, a minute took 1:07 seconds.
I've thought about that result for years.
I'm going to ask C if she'd be willing to try this (she's early to everything, too). And if you/your partner/kids/friends are either always early or always late, I'd appreciate it if you'd time them, too. I'll compile the results and write them up in a post.
