Too Old

I've been trying to teach Simon that he's two years old for a while.  Sometimes I wonder how much he learns, but most of the time I chalk it up for he's too busy for my rules, man.  Ain't got time to be my trained pony.  Anyway, it's starting to kind of sink in.  Except if I ask him how old he is, he says "Too old!"  I think he's leaving out the "years".  He knows he's going to be three very soon.  But he only gets two candles on his cake for some reason.  And I'm going to be 3 on my next birthday.  Daddy will also be too old.
