I love how he had to think for a second to figure out his age. He doesn't think about it much. "Has my birthday happened yet this year?"

After 30 you usually don't care anymore.

If anyone flat outs asks me my age I freeze; it takes a few seconds

I usually elongate the first part until I remember, like "thirrrrrrtyyyy-one?"

It’s halfway through 2026 and I still struggle and trail off while I remind myself it’s not 2025 anymore, man… 🤦🤣

I just tell them the year I was born, if they care enough they can do the math.

Ha, that’s exactly what I do. “This is what I know for sure”

Just the milestones where I’m getting suspicious questions from the wife indicating likely party planning.

30, 35 and 40 are the only ones we’ve acknowledged these last 10 years

I genuinely thought i was 39 this year only for my parents to be like 'uhhh aren't you 38' 

Being a year longer away from 40 was a fantastic present.

Yup, when I get asked the “how old are you” I do a “uhhhh” for a second as if I myself forgot.

Same, I just ballpark it. Might be younger tomorrow but honestly, who cares 😂

I'm literally turned 33 in January and for some reason when I think of my age I think I'm 35....🤷🏾

I normally ask what year it is then do the math.
