Elbert has a computer game called Starcraft. A few months ago, Elbert let Nathan and Andrew watch a little introductory video for the game on the computer. Nathan asked how old he had to be to play. Elbert told him he had to be twelve.
A week ago, Elbert was drinking a Mountain Dew. Nathan was fascinated by it. We don't let the kids have pop, so he asked how old he had to be to drink it. Again, the answer was twelve.
At breakfast yesterday, Nathan and I were talking about weight. He wanted to know how old he would be when he was one hundred pounds. I told him that I thought he would be eleven or twelve.
He immediately connected the three events and excitedly exclaimed, ""You know what Andrew? Twelve is a magic age, I think. When I'm twelve, I can play Starcraft, drink Mountain Dew, and weigh one hundred pounds!"
