Remember when we were kids, we'd answer the question "How old are you?" with the "and a half" bit if it was less than 6 months to our next birthday?
Q: How old are you?
A: Nine and a half.
OR
A: Nine going on ten. (Because really, we need to clarify the number that comes after our age.)
It sounds silly now, but I still remember with strartling clarity when I'd disclose my age in this manner. I guess 32 and a half isn't too old yet.
