Clem, Y U NO mention that??
If Clems birthday was six days before the final episode, and Christa/Omid joined 4 days ago (they mention it at some point, I think in the Mansion Attic if Lee tells them they've been great since the beginning?), then what reason would she have to not mention it 
?
IIRC it would be like, the day before the bandits came and screwed everything up so it's not like it would have been a bad time to say it, right?
It just depresses me that she mentioned something like that to CAMPMAN before Lee...we could have had such a happy time before things all went to hell...

at least thats how i saw it.
Blew my heart right there...
But who knows, maybe Clem forgot. I'm sure they didn't keep a calendar around in the zombie apocalypse. Campman was probably trying to be "fatherly" to Clem and ask when her birthday was, she tells him the date, and he's like "that was a few days ago!"
Actually, that IS possible...never thought of it that way.
Wish there was an option to ask her about it and find out for sure. I sort of expected it to be one of the last things you could tell her before dying
"And also....happy late birthday
But then again that could be taken as sort of dickish on one of the worst, if not THE worst day of her life.
These are possible too.
Hell, I just posted this topic about 5-10 minutes ago and I already feel better
Same way we do now. With a calendar.
right...plus even people in jail can count the days even without a calendar ut truthfully birth isn't something to celebrate anymore. anyone born is born in hell now. Survival is what should be celebrated as thats all that matters anymore. And plus side....we all have something in common then that unites us. our survival ages are all the same...until you die;)
BTW I think clem's birthday was something she kept secret....Was also sad to me that she received the hat from her father on her birthday last year and now at the end her surrogate father gives it back with part of him with it. No matter what Lee's blood ends up on clems hat. beautiful story. I recorded my best possible walkthrough and shall watch it some day and proly still be reaching for that damned Q key....choke choke choke, choke a bitch/stranger for taking Clem:p
The same way we've done it for thousands of years.
The big flaming ball in the sky.
When the big blueish ball we are on rotates out of view of the flaming ball we call that Night, when we can see the flaming ball we call that day.
One day and one night equals one calendar date. repeat wash and rinse.
In some advanced cultures, like the ones that predicted the end of the world in about 3 weeks if human sacrifices were not made then the big flaming ball would not appear in the sky. Luckily, the Z.A. takes care of that problem.
And that...my scholarly friend is how one keeps track of the date during the Z.A.
you would be wise to remember this information.
Lee saying happy birthday in the final scenes would have been really messed up, i think.
"I'll miss you....and also, happy birthday.... now shoot me."
My thoughts exactly. I don't think clem knew what date it actually was but the stranger was crazy enough that he probably did keep track. There is no reason to keep track of what time or day it is in the ZA. Maybe she mentioned to him the date of her birthday and he told her oh that was a few days ago or something.
He definitely wasn't lying about it, because on the wikia it says Clem is 9.
The wiki also said Molly would be in episode five.
Clem could've told Chapman when her birthday is without actually knowing it was birthday because she could've easily lost track of passage of time after the apocalypse. Chapman, on the other hand, might have known what the date was and figured out that it was past her birthday.

Anyway, It doesn't seem like anyone of our group was keeping track of the days since the ZA started. Would have been interessting to know the date (especially in the comics), but it would "Kill" the "Magic", one of the most annoying things of TWD is never knowing what day it is.
They actually do keep track of the date in the comics, at least for a while.
Campman also could have carried a calendar around in his station wagon. It wouldn't be too difficult to mark off the days since it seems he's had his car for the entire apocalypse.
Though, I really hope that he lied about Clementine's birthday to make us feel bad...
It really hurt me when I shouted "She's eight." the same time as Lee, and just to find out that her birthday was few days ago.
I felt as if Clementine doesnt trust us completely since she hides information from us, especially the fact that shes talking to this psycopath about what we did in the past without letting us know ._.
I really wish Lee had the option to say "happy birthday" to her before he passed away...
I'd definately bring a calendar in my backpack, in case there's a birthday I forget.
My priorities would be: Birthdays > Water > Food > Weapons
Honestly, how closely are people tracking the days and months at this point. I doubt anybody was using a calendar.
Lol.
Their sort-of-calendar was inaccurate, they often had to use "The beginning/end of x month", maybe because Kirkman didn't want to give exact dates... anyway, I don't think i'd remember about remembering the date, if I were trying to survive a ZA, at least not at the beginning.
