We were talking about ages today and how old the kids are. The kids like the idea that they are about to be five, and they keep wondering how old they have to be to drive. They think that the whole world opens up when they turn eight. My wife made the mistake of asking the kids how they thought she was and with out blinking and eye all three kids said a thousand. It's like they had planned on this is was said so quickly and in concert with each other. Then my wife said, "What, there is no way I'm a thousand, am I older than twenty?"
To which the children said "no."
What this should point out is that four year olds have no real concept of time.
