A Nine Year Wonder

He was 9 on the 9th day of the 9th month of 2009 and he was thrilled with himself. The local primary school that he attends here in the town made a big fuss and they all got off from doing homework.

I don't know him, I just photographed him because the photo his Mum sent me last week was not high quality enough to be printed on the local paper that I compile local information for. The paper was actually due out on the 9.9.2009, so it would have been perfect to have a picture of him in that issue. He was very disappointed so I said I would photograph him and do a very small written piece and submit it to the paper for this coming week. I hope the editors do put it through or there will be one sad little Manchester United supporter in the town.

It made me think about my own birthday coming up which is on the 19th of the 9th 2009. I will be over 5 times his age and luckily no 9s in it, but if you add the first number and the second number you will come up with a multiple of 3. Can you guess my age?
