    Totally!

    Thread OP, kinda like it’s easier to do the math when trying to remember your age or the year something happened in reference to one another.

    “I remember I was 12 when I got braces”, so they know the year was 2012 when they got braces…

    …which is easier than having to calculate:

    • I was born in 1993
    • so, 2000 - 1993 = 7
    • and, 12 - 7 = 5
    • 2000 + 5 = 2005 is when they got braces.
