How Old I Think Your Kid Is
Briefly

The time has gone wherever time always goes. It has progressed at its customary rate. But that whole time, I haven't been thinking about your kid. At all. It's really surprising that she keeps aging, while I'm over here not thinking about her one tiny bit.
Our actual ages, in absolute terms or relative to each other, are completely irrelevant to this perception.
