Deepness of a child

A little Girl asked me "What is longer? A second or a Moment? What is the difference ? I think it's the same..." 

I couldn't answer quickly, it took me a while to get the answer... Probably at first, I didn´t know either.
Suddenly it came out of my mouth " I think a second is the one, that takes longer. "

She replied "But how? A second is soo short, why is it the moment that is more? Don´t think that there is any difference." Looking more than irritated.

I told her  "Yes , quite short, but look- even if it´s short,  it can include a few moments.

Of pleasure, of hope, of pain or of emptyness.. A moment can only include one moment at the same time."  A moment can impact all in one space. How you measure it, is up to you"

She had these big kind of hazel eyes, staring into my last sentence. Trying to adapt this certain perspective. And yet , she got it.
