Dropping off Raphaela at Nature Camp today, I stood there with one of her closest friends (M) and her mother, and one of their counselors.
M: I'm four and a half.
RR: I'm also four and a half.
RR's Mom: Well, actually, soon you will both be five.
Counselor: Well soon I will be 24!
M,RR: Wow!
M's mother: And I just turned 34.
M, RR: That's a lot!
RR's Mom: (silent, and hoping no one will notice)
RR: How old are you Mommy?
RR's Mom: I just turned 46.
M: Oh, I'm sorry, but you're going to die soon.
