You're HOW old?

With a freakishly giant Daddy, it's not unusual for Todd to be mistaken for an older kid. Like when we visited Oma at the hospital and the nurse, after asking him how old he was, exclaimed: "You're only THREE!?"

Then there was Gavin, his friend at school, a boy who is at least a year older than Todd, and certainly bigger. I watched them play in the playground after school today, and though I don't know what precipitated the conversation, this is what I heard:

Todd: I'm not 4 yet!

Gavin (in disbelief): You're NOT!?

Todd: No! I'm still 3!

Gavin (still shocked): You're THREE!?

You should've seen the look on Gavin's face, it makes me wonder what went through his mind when he discovered Todd's true age! ;-)
