We are on the cusp of the “season of birthdays.” There are eight family birthday’s between the end of July and Labor Day. This causes my problem. As an author.

I write about the children portion of my family members as the 14-year-old and the 11-year-old. But they will soon be the fifteen-year-old and the twelve-year-old. My problem? What happens when the (now) 11-year-old becomes 14? Will he then be the 14-year-old? But what about the 14-year old from three years ago (work with me on this time travel thing)?

I know what you are thinking, “STOP DOING THIS BLOG before then.”
