Also happened to me a few times. Nothing to worry about. It's usually not something i have to think about so my brain put that info in the 'not important info box.'
Now if you forget your date of birth, that's a different matter. Your date of birth never changes but your age does. Your age changes every year. It can be hard to keep up sometimes, he he^^ |

Close enough. You're 1 year old at birth and gain a year every solar new year. So if you were born on December 31st, you'd be 2 years old the next day (by my understanding).
So if you were born before the current date (January 1 -> today) you add one year. If you were born after the current date (today ->Dec 31) you add 2 years to your "Western age". |

I stopped counting and worrying about my age when I turned 25, which was many years ago. If a Korean asks, I simply tell them the year I was born and let them do the math. Age is just a number to me. What counts is that I'm healthy. |

When it comes to true love age doesn't matter anyway. |

Yesterday I added one more and was in trouble since I no longer had enough fingers and toes to add them all up.
Guess I need to use a calculator now.
What was that George Carlin thing about aging?

I've been 29 for years, in my head. |

Natural enough - every year seems shorter as it represents shorter portions of your life. |
