What If Birthdays Added Years Randomly (Sometimes +3, Sometimes -5)?

Imagine waking up on your birthday, not knowing if you are about to age 14 or 21 or suddenly back to 9 again. Some mornings? You'd grow taller overnight. Other? You wake up with smaller shoes and crayons at your desk. 

Age would stop defining you. You could be ten-year older than your parents. You could meet a seventy year old who still has homework due. People would stop counting years and start counting moments. Time will finally stop pretending to be fair. 

Maybe the real question wouldn’t be how old are you? but how long have you felt alive?

 All scenarios described are fictional and purely imaginative.
