How old?

Sometimes when I ask people how old or young their kids are I don't want to DO THE MATH. I have a hard time converting 31 weeks old. Yeah, yeah give me a minute and I can figure it's around 7 months. By then the conversation has reached that awkward silence. Can't people just round up for me? How old is your boy? Oh, 26 1/2 months. Wow! 2 years old! 14 months. Wow! 1 year old!
I suppose I could give as good as I get. Next time someone asks me how old I am, I might just have to say 2,080 weeks, 197 days old.
