Me: How old are you?
Gert: Three.
Me: No you’re not. You’re two.
Gert: I three.
Me: You’re only two. You’re this many.
Gert: I three!
Me: How are you three?
Gert: I had my birthday.
Me: That was your cousin’s birthday. She’s three. You’re two.
Gert: I two?
Me: Yes. Stop trying to grow up so quickly.
Gert: I two.
Me: That’s right. How old are you?
Gert: I two.
Me: Good girl!

Me: Hey mommy, Gert and I have been talking about how old she is. I think she understands.
Mommy: Good girl Gert. How old are you?
Gert: I three. Not two. Right Daddy?
Me: Sigh.
