Entertaining, but...It's a matter of percentages. For the 4.5 years old kid, it's important to be distinguished from those that are 11%younger. 36.5 is just slightly more than 1% more than 36.When you reach the high numbers, it's not a question of just chronology. Mother is planning her 90th birthday in October, and us kids (62 (me), 57, and 54) are planning for her 100th.If it were a day-by-day thingy to me, I wouldn't be planning a month in India this autumn or next spring, running around monuments and national parks and whatever, together with my (likewise) very fit make-believe daughter of 25.
