they don't use a 365 calendar where you're from?

360 days. You have 5 days just hanging there on your year? Doesn't that throw off your dates? Like solstices?

i don't know. that's just how it is. that's how long it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. one full rotation is a year.

pretty sure that's what everyone here uses.

I forgot we have this thing where sometimes February is one extra day long.

So that's why the earth holidays aren't being celebrated on the same days as last year. Now it makes sense.

This is going to be a mess for me next year.

Anyway, what should I get him? Something he won't just roll his eye at.

i'll draw you a calendar.

he rolls his eye at everything. overcompensating.

parchment, really nice pens? old books but I don't think he likes fiction. puzzle things. blunt force trauma weapons.

hard to shop for.
