My granddaughter simply loves writing both numbers and letters. Yesterday she was talking about age and said "I'm number six and Louis is number four, what number are you?"
I quickly remembered that as a child I never knew how old my mum was and wouldn't have dreamt of asking - you just didn't!
So I thought, "honesty is the best policy" and said "I'm five and nine, fifty-nine". I nearly added I'm nearly ten times as old as you but that made me feel old - anyway she's only just started learning multiplication! On top of which I've only just turned 59!
A little later she said "so Grandma you're nine and five"
Now I know they're only numbers but I had to put her straight!
Well you can't blame me!

You did right.

On the other hand, if it was to be put about that you were 95 then you'd be looking bloody good for your age
