You Know, You're Only as Old as You Feel...Or Whatever Lie You Settle On

Today Claire was curious about everyone's ages. She wanted to know how old her dad is and we settled on somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred and five.

Claire- "So, how old are you?"

Me, lying- "Well Claire, I'm thirty-seven."

Katie picks up on the lie- "No, you're not. You're thirty-eight."

Me- "Oh, that's right. Well, let's just go with I'm in my 30's."

Claire- "What does that mean, you're in your 30's?"

Me- "You know, like when you're a teenager you're in your teens. Then you're in your 20's and 30's."

Claire- "Oh. I'm in my 6's."

Katie- "And I'm in my 5's!"
