"AND A HALF!"


Was thinking that when I was little like 5 or 6 and not yet quite either, someone would
ask how old I was and I'd say 5 and 1/2 or 6 and 1/2. That 1/2 must have gone on 
till I was about sixteen. By then, I didn't say 16 and a 1/2. Sounded dumb.
Thinking back, I couldn't wait to get to a specific age; no one else could either. And
so we'd rush it. Just couldn't wait. Well that went out the window--I never said that I 
was 30 and 1/2. Did you? Don't think so! Wouldn't mind to have those 1/2s back but
not sure if I'd like to do it all over again. Or would I?
