age

when i was young, adults used to tell me that they often forget their age. as a kid, i didn't understand that. how could someone forget how old they are??

but i'm finding out that it's true -- after 30, age becomes a more fluid, nebulous concept. when asked my age recently, i've responded between 27-35; i keep forgetting how old i am! the way i figure it out is subtracting my birthyear from the current year. it gets really confusing when i forget what year we're in...
