shortcut

the kid and I took the hubby to dinner to celebrate his birthday. as we were leaving the restaurant...
the kid: happy birthday, daddy! how old are you?
the hubby: do you want to count, and I'll tell you when you get there?
the kid: okay. 1, 2, 3... (keeps counting)... 23, 24. *sigh* 71,
the hubby: hey! 
the kid: well, I got tired of counting all those numbers, so I took a shortcut.
the hubby: I'll be 49.
the kid: no, I'm pretty sure 71 is right. you just forgot.
