There are so many things related to children that are measured in months that after awhile it scrambles our brains. Clothing, medicine, development guidebooks – months, months, months. We must seem like weird math obsessed people to people that have never experienced it.

28 months is “just two years” ?
But I’m with you on this one, this is getting out of hand.
Whats funny is that for the adults, its just 4 months ago (the 2 year b-day). But for the kid that is litterally a NINTH of their entire life (outside the womb). If you’re 40, that feels like 4.5 years ago.

She just turned 192 months. She’s going to get her driver’s license today.
Assuming a month is 30 days (not quite right for obvious reasons but good enough for a rule of thumb), we get (using m for month, d for day, and h for hour): .0014m * (30d/1m) * (24h/1d) = 1.008h.
Done for those of us who aren’t mathematically inclined, and/or are lazy.

It is believed that an asteroid impact triggered the extinction event that killed off all the dinosaurs some 780 million months ago.
Ah yes. I remember those 40 months!
I stop measuring things in months after they turn one. Sure, he’s closer to two than one now, but it’s much easier to say to strangers that don’t really care all that much anyways that he’s one rather than he’s 20 months (and my wife won’t let me round up…something about them growing up too quickly…)
Time flies fast when you’re in another panel.

Happy 70th!
I was told there would be no math.

I’m over a billion seconds old!
I still remember those terrible 24 months
