  She said, "September 47th."  
I turned to the Mother and said, "That's October 16, right?"

     Vanessa was eight years old and very sharp.  Her birthday was December 16 and I said, 
    "Wow.  You're 8 1/2 already."  
     She said, "No.  Not actually.  It's only the 11th.  I'll be 8 1/2 in five days...at 6 p.m."
