Grandpa what is couple secs?

An 8 year old girl went to her grandfather, who was working in the yard and asked him

“Grandpa what is couple secs?”

The grandfather was surprised that she would ask such a question,

but decided that if she was old enough to know to ask the question, then she was old enough to get a straight answer.

He proceeded to tell her all about human reproduction and enjoys and responsibilities that go with it.

When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open, eyes wide in amazement.

Seeing the look on her face, the grandfather asked, “why did you ask, Sweetie?

The little girl replied, “Well, grandma says to tell you that dinner will be ready in just a couple secs.”
