Some of our Readers may find themselves resisting aging. Birthdays apparently fill some folks with dread and dismay.

The Rhino system is far easier to work with. When you cannot count beyond 3, that’s about as old as We can get. How old? “Three, or thereabouts”, that’s Us. What does accuracy have to recommend it? Nothing, We’re aware of. Too much keeping score is how We see it.

Timing is another factor in this discussion. We Rhinos have birthdays all over the place, whenever the mood strikes. “How old?” and “How many birthday parties?”: That’s right. Three, or thereabouts.
