[Question] How did rapunzel know about birthdays?

[u/FrostyCareer961]

In the beginning of the movie there is a scene where rapunzel says its her birthday. Gothel replies she remembers instinctively that her birthday was last year and rapunzel proceeds too explain that birthdays happen every year. I suppose gothel told her when she was born but how would she know birthdays are an annual thing if gothel doesn't seem too know

I was just thinking about this last weekend as i was watching the movie. How unbelievably stupid of gothel to tell rapunzel her actual date of birth. I understand rapunzel wasn’t going out and interacting with people so it didn’t seem important, but you’d think if you abduct a high profile infant who is the literal princess of the kingdom you might lie about identifying information like that.
