    Colin, it’s an easy mistake. My mom was “29” for a long, long time. I was really good in math but I believed her until I was about 10.

    My mother did this for years – and she taught elementary school, so was always believed, as little kids think that 21 sounds very old. Once I turned 21, she upped it to 30.

    My mum was born during a leap year on February 29th, so at a spry 50, I’m technically older than her……

    I’ve had 50 birthdays.

    She’s had like 12…

    Kinda makes my dad seem like a creepy pedophile type when ya put it in that context…

    NOW!

    My dad. The Jerry Lee Lewis of Allentown, PA.

    Technically, she’s still not old enough to drive.

    I’m her Uber, constantly taking her to and from soccer practice. Oi. PIMA.

    She’s not old enough to drink either, so I sneak her shots of Jameson on the sly.

    My dad says that is contributing to a minor and is punishable by law.

    I say, “So is pedophilia, dad, but you’re the one who married her.”

    My dad was 37 for five years in a row. The thing is, he genuinely forgot his age.

    Not sure if people don’t get it, but I’m pretty sure everyone’s mom lied about their age because it’s ‘rude to ask a woman’s age’ in their generation.

    Also, the first ‘modern’ submarine was used during the US civil war iirc? It even sunk a warship, though I think they went down together.
