Her: I’m glad I’m done with 11 amma.
Me: Why? What’s the big deal about 12?

– There are many reasons to look forward to a birthday, but only my older daughter would have not one, but three mathematical and logical reasons.
I wish Amma would drop me at the birthday party since she is always early and Appa would pick me up since he is always late!
– Says my 9 year old party girl, who knows her parents too well.
Older one: Stop irritating me.
Younger one: I am not irritating you. YOU are getting irritated!
Ah, the joys of sibling rivalry.

I believe she is. By a quarter of an inch.
