What's My Age Again?

Yesterday I mentioned that I would be turning a year older. My coworkers wanted to know how old I would be.

"28," I told them without a moment's hesitation.

"Wow, I'm just a little older than you," Bo said.

Barbara asked, "So you were born in '81?"

"No," I replied. "I was born in 1982."

"Then... how can you be 28?" They wanted to know.

"Umm..."

<cough>

The good news: They saved a year of my life yesterday.

What does that have to do with Sonlight or homeschooling?

Nothing really.^*

But if I said anything more, I think you'd forget it as you typed out a Happy Birthday comment. And I wouldn't want to distract you from wishing me a happy birthday, now would I? <laughing>
