The long now

We had a short conversation with Melissa the other night. Melissa was in a good mood, as she often is.

"Melissa, do you like being three?" Rachel asked.
"Yes!" Enthusiastically.
"When will you be four?"
"Next year!"
"No, silly. You will be four this year. When will that be?"
"My birthday!"
"When is your birthday?"
"Wednesday!"

Her birthday is in May. Time is still a vague concept for Melissa.
