Lost in Translation #3

NOT A MINUTE LATER:

Example:
                Child: Mom, I'm going to Jenny's house for a while.
               Parent: Ok but I want you home by 10 and not a minute later.

Parent's Definition: My child will be in this house before the clock strikes 10, and I don't mean 5 seconds before either. 
Child's Definition: Well it's already 10 o'clock so I might as well stay longer, I wouldn't want to disobey and be a minute late.
