Damn. I try to subtract one little year. One little year. And get called out!
WHY did I ever allow her to take Math classes at school.
Forever - - when she was young the question, "Mommy, how old are you?" my response could be "26."
I liked 26. 26 was a good year for me. 26 was youthful. Nothing was hurting at 26. 26 was a year with good memories.
Like Dick Clark, I was stuck in that Fountain of Youth Time Warp which everyone searches for and only few can find...
...but then she started being able to add+ and subtract- then my life became a mess of explaining how I was getting younger as she was getting older.
Pretty soon, I was telling her that I was only 2 years old when I gave birth.
But when that didn't work, I started trying to shave years off my daughter's age.
Obviously, those math teachers succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Because she has seen through my lousy attempt again.
