Will: Mom, how long will you live?
Me: Well. . . .most people don't live past ninety, not very many live all the way to 100.
Will: So. . . how old are our great-grandparents?
Me: They are all in their 80s right now.
Will: Well. . .you're almost 80!
Me (shocked): I am???
Will: Yeah, you have the rest of your 30s and then 6 years and you will be 80!
Me: ???
Will (counting on his fingers): 30s. . . .40, 50, 60, 70, 80! No!!! Your 30s and then five years!
He shakes his head sadly. . .
What kind of crazy "New Math" are they teaching kids these days?
