I may well be BU, given that I tell people that DD2 is one when they ask her age.

However, the other day I met a woman I went to school with. She had her DS in tow. When I asked how old he was, she told me he was 41 months.

I have encountered similar in the past. Part of me wants to laugh and part of me wants to make a Hmm face. What's wrong with saying he's nearly 3 and a half?

Or is this rare? Or am I being weird?

There's a joke along these lines I heard once: "Oh yes, Johnny is 300 months now. He's a policeman..." Grin

YANBU, also drives me potty, I stopped talking in months once DC1 was 18 months. Lost count after about 20 months (not enough fingers/toes).

DD is eight and seven twelths (in years, been doing fractions at school).

Ds1 has been "six" for about a month, even though he's not actually had his birthday yet.

And ds2 is "umm two, er, no, three".

And I'm 14,000ish days. Eek.
