Today I asked someone how old their child was. Her response: 18.5 months. WTF? I am not a mathematician (although I'm fairly good at math in general) and I do not want to have to do mental math when you tell me how old your fucking kid is. Just say one and a half. How hard is that? Why do you insist on putting it in months? And the fraction (decimal) of .5? Is that really necessary?
Now granted I do not yet have kids of my own, and perhaps once Baby is born I will turn into one of those moms that says how old their kid is in months until they are three ("Oh yes, Baby is 36.5 months old now!") but I really hope not. I mean, I get it at certain points (when they are under a year, that's about the only way to state their age) but after year one, it seems ridiculous.
Can anyone explain this to me?

About Bano (Hey, that's me!)
Hi there! I don't know how you managed to stumble upon my humble little blog, but welcome! This is basically where I tell the world about the little things that make me laugh and drive me nuts. If you are offended by poop or cussing, I recommend you high tail it outta here.
Here are the players:
Bano - That's me! I'm in my late 20's, married, and just had a baby (our first). I'm a teacher and a coach. I like coffee, wine, reading, ice cream, and exercise (to work off the ice cream). I detest people that don't put their shopping carts away, TRAFFIC, and poor grammar. (Mine's not perfect, but it's very damn close.)
Mr. Clean - This is my very awesome husband to whom I have been married for almost nine years (!!!). He is the one that keeps our place clean (hence the name) and keeps me both organized (well, as close as it gets) and sane. (Although sometimes he's the reason for my short dips into delirium.) I love him more than anything, with the exception of....
Baby Bano (aka BB) - This is our brand new baby girl. We waited a looong time to finally have a baby, and she was well worth the wait. She's only a couple months old but she already provides most of the material for the blog. Like any parent, I'm convinced she's a genius and has the strength of a future pro athlete, so consider yourself forewarned.
Boo Boo - Our first "child" is a terrier mix we (and by "we" I mean "I") adopted from the local animal shelter a couple of years ago. She was a cute puppy and is kind of a pain now (she is a teenager in dog years, after all), but we still love her. She enjoys sleeping, fetching, and chewing bones.

That one always threw me for a loop too. After having kids, I think you're supposed to say months up until the age of two and then from there you say two, two and a half, blah blah. Who the fuck knows anymore. I'm 32 and 9/10ths, that's all I know.
Oh it gets much worse than that. Just you wait and see. :)
It used to bother me too before I had my first child...then I started doing it too. You just get so used to doing the whole month by month thing. That and they grow up so quickly that its easier to stay in denial over the fact that your "baby" is growing up.
