Nothing funny about it. Losing the sense of passing time is very typical in her case. I saw it happen to my father as Alzheimer's slowly claimed him. And informing an uninformed daughter (and the audience) hardly made Baldwin a jerk.

My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.

I though it was more poignant, than outright funny. Probably because I've watched a few family members suffer and die through neurodegenerative diseases.
