A birthday dialogue

I overheard this conversation between the boys a little while ago. Listening to their conversations can be so enlightening and entertaining.

Caleb: How come you get to turn 8 but I still have to be 4?
Alex : Because you haven't had your birthday yet.
Caleb: But how will I catch up to you?
Alex: You can't catch up. You never will. I'll always be 3 years older than you. (Caleb turns 5 in a few weeks.)
Caleb(in a whiny, pleading voice): Can't you start over?
Alex: No, you can't start over. You start at 1 and just keep going up and up. When you get to 100, you die.

That was the end of that conversation.
