George CarlinWhen I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to hear '27 months.' 'He's two' will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place.
About This Quote
What kind of parent gets upset when his or her child has just turned two? Unless you are talking about an actual toddler, that age group is so arbitrary. I think the best way to deal with this is to not bring up the age in the first place. If you meet someone whose child is 27 months old, you can always say something like “I meant 27 months in age. My daughter is two.” Or if you really don't know what to say, just smile and nod.
