So the strap of my smart watch broke and I'm really suffering because no matter what, I always track my 10K steps a day and religiously make up for any missed steps over subsequent days. It's an Actxa watch and I can't find a replacement strap anywhere. Viv thinks I should get an Apple watch but I don't want the fancy-schmancy features -- a step counter + heartbeat monitor will do just fine.
Today Xena decided to contribute to the discussion too.
Xena - Mama, I think you really need a new smart watch.
Me - I know...
Xena - I can buy you one for Christmas!
Me - You can?
Xena - Yes!
Me - How?
Xena - With my tooth fairy money!
Me - Ooh! How much do you have?
Xena - 8 dollars!
Me - Oh, so you will buy me a smart watch for 8 dollars?
Xena - Or less.
Me - Or less?!
Xena - Yeah.
Me - Errr... I don't think 8 dollars are enough to buy a smart watch.
Xena - Hmm... Maybe you can use some money from your piggy bank?
(I have a piggy bank into which I pop stray coins as and when I find them. No one, including me, knows how much money is in there.)
Me - Ooh. How much money do you think is in there?
Xena - 40 dollars.
Me - 40 dollars? Are you sure?
Xena - No. 41, I think.
Me - Oh.
Xena - Or I can make a strap for you!
Me - How?
Xena - With paper!
Me - Oh!
Xena - But you can't let it get wet, ok? Otherwise it will break.
Me - Uh...
Xena - Or we can just take your old watch and tape it to your wrist! I think that will be the best!!
Me - Okay!

Season’s greetings, Merry Christmas!
And a Happy 2019!
In the passage of time, there never is any twist,
Whether or not a watch is on your wrist.
Time keeps flowing uniformly fast:
Future becoming present, and receding into past.
If you want Harry Potter in a somewhat different universe,
