Identity Control

Recently, I suddenly realized that Daniel was already six and a half, and I shared the news with Daniel when we were in the car, thinking that he'd be at least as excited as I was.  But soon after getting the news, he seemed pensive, and then suddenly frowned a bit, and explained:

"I don't really want to be six-and-a-half.  I just kind of want to go around saying that I'm six."

I told him that would be fine.
