Today Happened Tomorrow and Yesterday is Yet to Come

What time is it? It is time to figure out how to get Mila to stop asking about the time!

PLEASE.

For months, Mila has been obsessed with time. She is ramping her crazy and now asks for the time at least 1359813759 times per day. Which is great because if there is one thing I need in my life, it's a constant reminder that time is passing by way too quickly. What time is it now? It is two minutes later than the last time Mila asked and didn't that two minutes pass by in a blink?

IT TOTALLY DID.

My favorite part about this whole obsession is that Mila has no concept of time. Everything that happened in the past happened "yesterday." We went to Chicago yesterday, Mila was born yesterday, we bought her a swimsuit with a white bow on it yesterday. Everything that has yet to happen will happen "tomorrow." Tomorrow Mila is going to go to kindergarten. Tomorrow she's going to drive a car. Tomorrow Mila will be 20 years old.

Which, now that I'm thinking about it, is EXACTLY how time works when you're an adult. Tomorrow comes at you so fast you can't keep your head on straight, yesterday just happened, and everything in between is just a blur.

While I ponder the fact that my 4-year old understands time better than I do, how do I get her to stop asking for the time? Seriously. I already tried giving her a watch and teaching her how to read it. She just made everyone confirm she was reading it correctly all day long. I need a new trick. Annnnnd ... go!
