What if Disney was right and Toy-Story is real? Toys connected on the same network. communicating how they are lost and where they were going. But every time Andy walks into the room, do the toys internal clock start again at 0?

While some culture considers newborns as 1-year-old and others see the birth of a child is the official start of their internal clock, time is merely a construct created by humans.
