Like sandwiches through the hourglass

Breakfast.

Jane: Is Aunt Jane the same age as Aunt Karen?

Me: Nope. Aunt Jane is is four years older than Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen is three years older than Uncle John. Uncle John is seven minutes older than me.

Jane: How long is seven minutes?

Me: (casting about for something she could understand). Seven minutes is about the amount of time it takes for me to make and eat a piece of toast.

Henry: He is one slice of toast older than you.
