Conversation with a 5 (almost 6) year old

I got a call from my brilliant 5 year old sister today and I thought I'd share a bit of our conversation:

Brinley: I'm turning 6 in 5 days!

Brooke: You can't turn 6. I can't have a 6 year old sister.

Brinley: Yes you can!

Brooke: No I can't. Because I was 19 when you were born and then if you turn 6 that means I'll have to turn 25! Do you know how old that is?

Brinley: No.

Brooke: It's a QUARTER OF A CENTURY. SOO OLD!

Brinley: (In a completely desperate and empathizing voice) That's awful!

Ha. I had to laugh at that. I highly doubt she thinks my soon to be age is much of anything. But I do love her for playing a good little sister and pretending she feels bad for me!
