She’s Nine / She’ll Be 10 in July?!? WTF

so I was at the bar the other night at one of my bands shows and I was talking to some people that I hadn’t seen in awhile about our kids. we got to talking about how OLD they were – which is where – no matter how you try – you WILL end up when catching up with other people who have children. we were in mid “Wow I can’t believe how old they are” heated conversation when all of the sudden, when asked how old my daughter is (the correct answer is 9), I answered “She’ll be 10 in July”.

WTF!?! i can’t believe i said that shit. why would i just not say she was 9? what imaginary line of demarcation did we cross where it was ok to tell people how old she is GOING TO BE rather than her age now. i know you all know what i mean. people do it all the time. seriously. why.

i-don’t-know-but-i-am-scared.
