I think my daughter has something of the same tendency. For quite a long time, beyond the time when most of her classmates had learned to use time descriptors "correctly", everything was either "today" or "the other day". "The other day" could be any time from before she was born ("the other day when [elder brother] was in your tummy...") to years in the future ("the other day when I can be a dance teacher...") This could make her conversation quite difficult to follow at times, but it was also rather charming. She uses time words conventionally now, but I still sometimes get the impression that they don't come naturally to her. She shows much less interest in things like "how many days till Christmas", "how many days till my birthday" than I remember her brothers doing.
