Edrick: Mommy, why is the calendar not November?
Mommy: Because it’s February now. Not November.
Edrick: But my birthday is November.
Mommy: Yes it is. But this month is February, November is a long way yet.
Edrick: How much longer is my birthday Mom?
Mommy: Oh… it’s nine months away.
Edrick: Nine monthssss? But how many days more?
Mommy: Wellllll… around 180 days away.
Edrick: Whattt??? O.n.e h.u.n.d.d.d.r.r.r.r.e.d and e.i.g.h.t.y.y.y??? But Mommm! I will be an old man then!
Mommy: *is not able to carry on the conversation as her coffee goes down the wrong pipe due to her bursting laughter, and she has to be resuscitated to realize that her son has no concept of weeks and months yet – he takes one day at a time – and so should his mom*

My son is in std 2 and he still questions the same thing Enida. And November is his fav month too. Waddaya know!
