Here is my answer, you come up with the explanation (trust me, you don't want me to
)
Yeah I noticed it but i don't understand why is is so.Please can you tell me why?
Okay I will try:
Dec. 30th = 15
Dec. 31st (your Birthday) = 16
Today is Jan. 1st which means you turn 17 on Dec. 31st
So, next year you will be 18 on Dec. 31st
or
It is Jan 1st so the day before yesterday is Dec. 30th (you are 15)
On Dec. 31st, your Birthday, you will be 16
Since today is Jan 1st, this year you will be 17 on Dec. 31st
Which means next year you will be 18 on Dec. 31st
I hope that makes sense to you.
