The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Probably about a month ago, I posted a blog about a silly debate my girlfriend and I have been having, similar to the one my parents have been having for years. It deals with age. Since she is approximately 11 months older than I am (my girlfriend, not my mom), I have been a rebel and said that she is 11 months older than I am. I know, I'm crazy like that. However, for that one month of every year where the same number (in years) is attached to our names, she lays claim that we're the same age - that there is no difference between us age wise. This is very reminiscent of my parents. My father is approximately 2 years and 9 months older than my mother, so when her birthday rolls around, he says, "We're only two years apart now," before she counters with, "Your birthday is in three months. We're closer to three years apart than two years." Yes, this is all silly, fun, and games, but I've thought of a new way to potentially get my girlfriend to cave...
