When I Was…

The Big Boy Tiny Girl Age Comparison Conversations:
My children have an understanding of numbers in certain ways.    Tonight on the way home from dinner my daughter had a long conversation where she explained to her cousin, Nicole, the following:

When I was one-years-old, Greyson was two-years-old.  When I was two-years-old, Greyson was three-years old.   When I was three-years-old, Greyson was four-years-old. When I was five-years-old, wait, did I miss one?    <starts over>

My son waited very patiently until his sister was done and then asked if he could tell Coco a story now.    Here was his story:

When I was zero-years-old, Reese wasn’t even born yet.  When I was one-years-old, Reese was zero-years old.   When I was two-years-old, Reese was one-years-old. When I was three-years-old, Reese was two-years-old,

He went on for some time, going into the future.   What was interesting was when they got into future ages such as seven and eight, they would change to future tense instead of past tense.
