M: (thinking, I wish! ha!) No, I'm a higher number than that.
(Lucas counting through the twenties...)
L: Are you 30?
M: Almost, but a little bit higher.
L: (counting... ) are you 36?
M: Add 2 more. 36...37..38.
L: That's a high number! (thanks kid!) How many is Dad?
M: 37.
L: Your number is higher! (Again, thanks kid!)
L: Is your head bigger than Dad's?
M: No! Dad has a bigger head.
L: Are you bigger than Dad?
M: No, he's taller than me.
L: How come? Your number is higher than his.
M: Because his bones grew longer than mine.
And next month Joe will finally join me in being the 'same number' ... for 2.5 months anyway.
