Two dates, both stored the same way, one works with strtotime and one doesnt.... help!

Got a bit of a weird one. I've got a date field, I've added a date in two different pages using the calendar selector. It has saved, and stored in the same format in the database.

I can echo out the date no problem for both dates, it exists.

However, if I use strtotime() (or wireDate()) on this date, one of them works, and one of them does not. 

var_dump($page->custom_date);
var_dump(strtotime($page->custom_date));

Using / as dividers signifies an American date format of MM/DD/YYYY, which makes only the latter invalid.

Well that's a new one for me! Thanks for explaining.
