Take heart. I remember asking my Mum whether it was bedtime on holiday and getting a furious reaction.
Genuinely, all I wanted to get was an idea of timeframe.
Children have a warped sense of time - as proved when children in my class ask if it's lunchtime directly after break, or if it's hometime when they haven't even had lunch.
And asked what they did earlier that day will often come up with what they did the day before.
Much smacking of heads in dismay.
