But I'll be xxx years old...

[Enter stage left]

Have you ever asked a child how old they are?

The answer would be something like this:

I'm 9, but I'll be 10 in 2 months.

I'm 12, but I'll be a teenager in 3 months and 1 week.

I'm 20, but I'll be 21 and able to buy alcohol in 17 days.

And then if you ask someone their age, they tell you:

26.

37.

44.

59.

68.

71.

Then when you ask them it's:

74, but I'll be 75 in 5 months.

79, but I'll be 80 in 2 months.

84, but I'll be 85 in 1 month and 3 weeks.

89, but I'll be 90 in.........

.......

We're all just older children, aren't we


We loved you, no matter your age!

That has a nice ring to it; more fitting for a luxury sedan than the jalopy that I am.
