I really hate to break this to you, but that BBC dad video happened this year

Sit down. Are you sitting? OK, good. Because it's important that you know the truth about that super viral video of the kids charging in on their dad as he was giving an interview to the BBC.

It happened this year.

I know. I know. Just breathe.

Despite what you remember to be true. Despite everything that your senses are telling you. Despite your biological clock, which has been flashing 12:00 for the past year. You have to believe me.

I'm sure you remember. It was this one, where Korea expert Robert Kelly gave an interview with the BBC and his kids burst into the room, becoming instant global superstars.

I'm sure you're thinking, "But wait. That was definitely in 2016. It could have even been in 2015! When the world was good and money rained down from the sky."

Or maybe you're like, "But nooooo. I heard they're even making a cartoon out of that video. There's no way it happened this year. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT."

I'm sorry friend. It did.

It didn't even happen like at the very beginning of the year. This video was uploaded in the middle of fucking March.

There were two whole months before that during which a lot of other things happened that you probably also think happened decades ago. But they didn't. They, and this video, happened in 2017 AKA, the year that never stopped happening.

For a brief demonstration of all the time that has passed between this video and now, please look at the video's hero, Marion Kelly, then and now to see how much she has changed over time.

Then take solace in the fact that you've lived the equivalent of two human life spans in such a short amount of time.

OK, maybe time isn't going quite so fast after all.

Happy New Year, everyone.
