Question: Why is my Parent all hung up on the time? Like, it'll happen when it happens, right?

Answer: The primary function of your Parent is to keep you alive. Sometime this involves a complex balancing act of feeding you, making sure you get enough sleep and physical activity, taking you to the doctor, giving you chances to learn how to be socially acceptable, and handing you off to others so they don't kill you themselves.* Time is how they juggle all those priorities. So the next time your Parent asks you to put on your shoes FASTER, remember, your life might literally depend on it.**

*The Homicidal Parent is another topic for another day.

**Probably not, but still, why take the chance?
