pinocchio paradox isnt a paradox

We all heard "My nosen will grow now" and if it grows hes not lying so it shouldnt grow and if it didnt grow hes lying so it has to grow. But here's the thing.

When he say "my nose will grow now" he start a time duration of "now" we can call it "x-time" As long there is time left on x-time the statement can't be false (as long there is time it has time to grow). But as soon the x-time is over the statement is false and he lied. So then it start growing. And the growing phase is outside of x-time duration so the statement remains false.

For the statement to become true, he has to lie and make the nosen grow within the x-time duration. He can lie before the x-time start aslong as it grows within the x-time duration.

Thats why is not a paradox
