Conversations with Owen, Vol. 1, Iss. VII

Owen is under the impression that one's height corresponds to one's age. Thus, now that he is four he is also four feet tall. We were recently discussing one of his kindergarten friends, Cole.

Owen: Do you think Mommy and Abby and I can go to Cole's house this afternoon?
Me: Maybe. Does Cole have any brothers or sisters?
Owen: A brother.
Me: Older or younger?
Owen: Older.
Me: How old is he?
Owen: Seventeen.
Me: Really?
Owen: He's almost 20 feet tall!

Cole's brother, I'm told, is two.
