A conversation M and I had on the way home from preschool:
M: Hey, Stefanie...
Me: Yeah, buddy?
M: On my next birthday, I'm going to be... [long pause]
Me: [trying to help] Four?
M: No... [thinking really hard]...twenty...ummm...five!
Me: [laughing] Twenty-five?
M: Yeah! That's how old I'll be.
Me: Did you know that I'm twenty-five right now?
M: Yeah! And on my next birthday, I'm going to be twenty-five!
Me: Well, it won't be very long before you're twenty-five. But three is a pretty good age, too. I think being three is lots of fun.
M: [dreamily] Yeah...
M: Hey, Stefanie...
Me: Yeah, buddy?
M: On my next birthday, I'm going to be... [long pause]
Me: [trying to help] Four?
M: No... [thinking really hard]...twenty...ummm...five!
Me: [laughing] Twenty-five?
M: Yeah! That's how old I'll be.
Me: Did you know that I'm twenty-five right now?
M: Yeah! And on my next birthday, I'm going to be twenty-five!
Me: Well, it won't be very long before you're twenty-five. But three is a pretty good age, too. I think being three is lots of fun.
M: [dreamily] Yeah...
