The Countdown's On

It has actually be going on for the last 56 days, but now that our trip is getting close everyone is getting excited. There is a debate in our household about how to count the number of days left. I say, as of today, Tuesday, there are 8 days till we leave next Wednesday. Jared insists that there are only 7, which is smaller and which is also the countdown the girls have been using for the last 56 days. Personally, if there is only one day left then the next day you should be leaving. I got confused about Jared's reasoning for there only being 7 days left and will leave it up to him to add his justifications to this post.

Hi gang! Jared here. I've always wanted to say hi gang. I've heard that on tv but never in real life. But I digress.

So here's my reasoning. On monday we will say there is 1 day left. That 1 day will be tuesday. See? Simple! That's the last day we have to go through before we leave on wednesday.

P.S. I've actually been counting down the days since 93 days left.

P.P.S Don't tell Brittney but the real reason I've been counting that way is that when I first started counting down the days I used a countdown clock on the internet where you put in a date and it tells you how long until then. I only recently discovered that when it was telling me that there were oh, let's say 8 days left, below it it would say something like "and 19 hours". But by this point I'd already argued for my way of counting down. Stupid internet.
