"Hey Mom! Know what? In 10 years, I'll be 16."
"That's right sweetie. Good addition!"
"Yep! And Bella will be 18. And Juju will be 13. And Dad will be... let me see... will Dad be 50?"
"Yes, that's right. Dad will be 50."
"And, you.... you will be 47!"
"...."
"Mom? Hey Mom? Are you listening? And then in 20 years, I'll be 26. Bella will be 28..."
"Um, Jack? I think that's enough math for the day."

I totally know that feeling! I had a slight anxiety attack when I realized I'll soon be sharing my bed with a 40 year old ... which will make me almost 40, too! (Soon as in only 4 years away for him, 7 for me.)
LOL - so glad that my 6 year old is not the only one to do math lessons on the fly like this. On one hand it is fabulous that they love to do it, but age reminders can be tough to take.
Please don't get that adorable little math whiz anywhere near my birthday... yikes I wouldn't want to short circuit his brain. GREG
