I also got way to upset by this as a child. I thought that the moon was falling behind and would miss traveling across the night sky.
To be fair, that is pretty much exactly what it's doing. It just falls behind so much eventually that it ends up where it started.
Hey just like me!
Well no, it's the opposite. It's constantly getting ahead until it's eventually back where it started.
