My hamburger brother

Brother Hamburg is my sister's son, that is, my big nephew.

Recently, my sister is going to take the teacher's certificate exam, and she will have an interview soon. She has no experience in education and teaching at all, and she deliberately took advantage of the New Year's holiday to come to me for lessons. It is indeed quite difficult, so many texts, so many knowledge points, which lesson to take in the exam, this winning probability is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Hamburger was brought here, too. I found that Hamburger was very clever after this day's contact. He often asks profound questions, such as "What is metabolism?" He can also explain some words and phenomena very accurately. "A drop is a drop in temperature."

Recently, he is fascinated by addition and clocks.

in the evening, I asked him 8+8 =? He immediately began to calculate, 8+1=9, 8+2=1… until 8+8=16. Although this method is time-consuming in our opinion, isn't it a great thing for a small class of children? Isn't it like inductive reasoning?

He also has a soft spot for clocks. When we told him it was 9: 57, he immediately switched to the 24-hour clock method, which was 21: 57.

In the evening, as if he had discovered a new continent, he looked up at the clock on the wall and asked us why the second hand kept going. It was really a difficult question to answer. I told him that the second hand had been walking for a minute. This is not a good answer. Time is always moving, not a certain moment you see, nor a sudden jump to the next moment.

Later, he continued to observe. When the second hand on the wall passed the number 12, the display on the mobile phone changed from 8 minutes to 9 minutes. So he held his head up and observed it carefully for a while.

Uncle told him that when the second hand reaches the number 1, it is 5 seconds, and when it reaches 2, it is 1 seconds. Counting in this way, with a strong memory, I reviewed it several times and was able to continue reasoning. Then he came over and told us that "13 is 65, 14 is 7…" What a thinking child.

in retrospect, the clock is a very complicated invention. It is clearly the number 8, which can mean 8, 2 o'clock and 4 seconds!

Every child is an apple bitten by God. Brother Hamburg is very clever, but his personality is not very pleasing. When he is still unfamiliar, he always "groans" and ignores people. In kindergarten, he is also timid and afraid to play and communicate with others.

He loves to cry, too. At night, at the grocery store, a whole row of clocks made him watch with relish. He was told to go away, and he kept crying and crying. There was nothing he could do.
