Aging

My baby nephew OC is turning one tomorrow. Elsie is getting him a sponge cake. He loves that texture - it's perfect to munch on, the few teeth that he has.

If i was to get a card it'd say, "Happy 1st Birthday!"

What a fallacy, huh? One's first birthday is at the moment of emerging from the birth canal. So, in essence, at age one we experience our second birthday.

Our age is always one year behind our actual existence. Which perhaps explains why our wisdom always seems to, in turn, run short.

Perhaps we are celebrating the one year anniversary of their Birth day???
