Counting Age Is Old Hat

(I am at a coffee shop with my best friend of 35 years. It’s his birthday.)

Me: “Happy birthday, [Friend].”

Friend: “Thanks… How old were you when you turned 40?”

Me: “Wait for it… Think about what you just asked.”

Friend: *starts to laugh* “I’m losing my mind. That made no sense, did it?”

Me: “Well, I think you may have been referring to mental age to physical age… I feel about 20 in the head, but 41 in body.”

Friend: “And I’m losing it if I keep coming up with questions like that!”
