I just got thinking. Why is a person's age calculated from when he/she is born and not when he/she got planted in the mother's womb?

For instance, a woman gets pregnant in January, 9 months later [September] she tells you the child in her womb is 9 months old. She delivers her child that same month and automatically the childs age is counted from that date. Isn't this wrong?

Or better still, a distinction should be made between the terms 'Age' and 'Date of Birth'. Next time you are asked for your age, please add the 9 months you were carried in your mom's womb to it.

For those of you using affidavit ages I will address your issue another day.

Mods please move to appropriate section.
