Who's counting?

Mrs. Age: "My oldest sister turns 101 next week."

Dr. Grumpy: "Wow! Are you guys having a party for her?"

Mrs. Age: "Of course not. She died in '98."

  6. We had a party for my great-grandfather's 100th birthday and he'd been dead a good 25 years. :-)

  7. I guess that means my mom would be 102 if she hadn't died 39 years ago.

  11. Since the sister is not dead, as in still ageing, she is not 101 years old (from birthdate), she is around 4.54 billion years old (age of the planet earths creation), as the atoms/molecules is what the sisters copse is made of .

  12. That's like the patient who, when asked their age, says something like, "58...next September". Drives me crazy.
