For children, childhood is timeless. It's always the present. Everything is in the present tense. Of course they have memories. Of course time shifts a little for them and Christmas comes round in the end. But they don't feel it. Today is what they feel, and when they say 'When I grow up . . .' there's always an edge of disbelief -- how could they ever be other than what they are. ~British author Ian McEwan

As adults, why can't we do the same?
