I am trying to calculate, math is not my thing.
I know that today is not yet your birthday, because I remember the day. For sure when we turned 1 year old, you had already celebrated 1 Thanksgiving and 1 Christmas... NO, I renounce to find out why 59 Thanksgiving dinners.

I can't do math calculations. The voices in my head won't allow it!

@JolietJake I can relate to that... For instance, I count responses on discussions just to check if the ones I see would match with the stated number of responses... I'm weird, I know...

I'm a 'numbers' guy, I'm always catching myself counting things

@JolietJake I do a lot of counting when I am working on knitting a hat or other project. Have to watch those stitches.

@JolietJake You may not have been born yet but you probably were kicking up a storm anyway.

@JolietJake Sneaky... But yes, I have to agree that all of those statements are true...

I had dinner via Mom, but I didn't celebrate Christmas because I wasn't born yet.

And just this morning while making the bed, I pondered over in my memory bank, what a mathematics 'whiz' I had been in school! Now, according to this little trivia quiz, you've shot your old friend Kharla, right in the foot! I'm totally in the dark, which isn't that usual for me:)

Born January 5th 1960 so I'm 57.
My first birthday was the day I was born in 1960, so I've had 58 of them.
Ate my first Thanksgiving dinner in '59 though the umbilical cord...including it and counting to this year makes 59 of them.
Everyone always has their first Christmas before their first birthday...unless they are born on Christmas...I'll turn 58 11 days after my 58th Christmas.

@JolietJake Now, that's a good explanation clearing all of this up, perfectly! So, then lets see if I've got this right, O.K.? I was born September 23, 1951, so********that means I will be 38 my next Birthday? (Yah, right!)

It frequently depends on the month as to what the numbers show.

I'm terrible with numbers and can't work that one out! My partner's birthday is late in December, it makes me laugh that he was born in the dying days of 1969 so has lived so far in six decades even though he's only in his late forties - also he'll be 48 this December but as soon as January comes around we'll be saying he's 50 next year!

Mine falls 11 days after Christmas, so I had my first Christmas before I turned 1. Technically everyone does.
My first Thanksgiving meal was thanks to my Mom.
My birthday occurred on the day I was born, so the first anniversary of it (when I turned one) was actually my second 'birthday'.
