Friends:Wouldnt it be nice if our children got married in the future?
Husband: No way! My daughter is only one, and your son is two; when shes ten, your son would be 20. Thats disgusting!
Wife: No, sweetie, your math is wrong. Our daughter will be two years old next year, and they will be the same age by then.
