M: (thinking, I wish! ha!) No, I'm a higher number than that.
(Lucas counting through the twenties...)
L: Are you 30?
M: Almost, but a little bit higher.
L: (counting... ) are you 36?
M: Add 2 more. 36...37..38.
L: That's a high number! (thanks kid!) How many is Dad?
M: 37.
L: Your number is higher! (Again, thanks kid!)
L: Is your head bigger than Dad's?
M: No! Dad has a bigger head.
L: Are you bigger than Dad?
M: No, he's taller than me.
L: How come? Your number is higher than his.
M: Because his bones grew longer than mine.
And next month Joe will finally join me in being the 'same number' ... for 2.5 months anyway.
If it helps, I'd love to be 38 again. :)

ReplyDeleteThat's very funny -- Brian will be 37 this month, and I'll be 38 in June. He's taller than me, too! Ha :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an inquisitive boy Lucas is. I love this post. Thank you for sharing. Does Lucas ask his grandparents the same question?
