Ezra: When can I celebrate my birthday at school?
Me: Well, your birthday is June 8, and that's on a Sunday, so we could bring in cupcakes or something the next day, which would be Monday.
Ezra: So my birthday's this Sunday?
Me: No, your birthday's in June. That's months from now, in the summer.
Ezra: Oh. I thought my birthday was this Sunday. Is my birthday in summer break?
Me: No, just before.
Ezra: The day before summer break?
Me: No, not the day before.
Ezra: The day before spring break?
Me: No.
Ezra: So it's the day before summer break, or it's the day before spring break?
Me: Neither. It's a few days before summer break.
Ezra: Two days before summer break?
