I hate hearing the conversation between two women discussing a baby. One will begin the exchange by commenting on how cute the little guy or girl is. Then the inevitable question is presented: How old is he/she? This is where it all falls apart. The ridiculous mother then proceeds to answer with her child's age counted not in years or even in half years, but months. Months?! How old is your baby? 27 months! Ok, where do you draw the line and decide that the kid is too old for his/her age to be measured in months? I don't know about you, but if my child was 27 months old, I'd just say that he's two. End of story.
The next time I am asked about my age, I should reply, "243 months!" and see how well that goes over.
