lalicopaToday is Lily's birthday. She's 5.
For obvious reasons, birthdays were on Laszlo's mind this morning. So he was thinking and he said, "I think I know how the computer knows how old I am." (recently he tried setting up an AIM account and he put in his accurate birth year, so they declined him...I had to fib for him, which upset him, but not as much as not getting the AIM account - but I digress...)
"I think that if you subtract the year you were born from the current year, you can figure out how old someone is."
I said, "That's right! Where did you learn that?"
"I just figured it out."
Then I could literally SEE his brain working. Then he stumbled on his words for a minute and then said, "But if you didn't already have your birthday this year, you need to subtract one from that number."
Seriously? I don't think I was cognizant enough of things to figure that out until I was years older than he is right now. His mind just amazes me.
On a funny, less brilliant note, I went into Laszlo's lunch bag to pack today's snack and drink and there was a note:
Dear mom
Pleese send
more food
for lunch
Because I am
still hungry
Love, Laszlo Goch
