Jake's time concept

Whenever Jake compares anything to anything, he always says that it "wasn't for like a year."  

Jake, we haven't been to this restaurant in a long time

Yeah, it's been like a year.

Jake, did you brush your teeth today?

No, it's been like a year.

Jake, we are going home as soon as we stop at the grocery store.

No no no, that is going to take a year.
