How old am I now?

While bringing Auntie to our house to baby-sit yesterday, Ane announced that since Tad had had a birthday, she was now four years old.

“No, you’re three and a half,” Auntie told her.

“I don’t WANT to be three and a half! I want to be FOUR!” she insisted loudly.

“Ane, if you’re not three, you can’t start Cubbies at church this fall,” I told her. Yes, I was lying through my teeth, sort of. Most Cubbies start at age three, but there is no rule about a four year old starting.

But that shut her up real quick, and we haven’t heard her claim to be four years old since.
