Time feels different depending on what you're doing. When you're waiting for your turn in line, it seems like forever because nothing is changing around you. But when you're playing a game or having fun with friends, time slips away quickly because everything is happening fast and you're focused on the action.
Examples
- Waiting for your favorite show to start feels like an hour.
- Playing with friends at recess makes time disappear.
- Your birthday party went by in a flash.
