In "slang", when someone states:

Going on _______, what does it mean to you?

For example, someone states "it's going on 11 o'clock", or "going on 16 years old", how do you interpret it?

Does it mean anytime after 10 o'clock or after their 15th birthday (like it could be 10:05 or 15 and 1 day old) or does it mean it's almost 11 o'clock or almost 16 years old?

So, who are you having this disagreement with, [MENTION=2]bullmama[/MENTION]...one of the kids?

Nope, the hubby of course! Who else would I argue over stupid trivial meaningless stuff with? :rofl:

Can't you easily guess? :giggle:

I'm not telling him.... I would not want to burst or flatten his ego. Self satisfaction is all I need :D

The story behind it....

Every year when Noah gets older I swear the next day- if he is in trouble he will say "You're going on 17 years old!" Even though his 16th birthday was the day before.

So silly but this weekend he asked me if I wanted to finish his burger he ate for lunch, I told him it was too early for me to eat lunch. It was 10:05 am. He said, "It's going on 11 o'clock". I said, "um no, it's only 10!" He said yes, but it's going on 11.... so on and so forth. I explained to him that going on 11 meant it was almost 11. He says if it is almost 11 then he would just say "it's 11" and not say "going on 11". *sigh* *SMH*

I just think it's quite cute actually-- funny how each of us interpret things differently! However, when the day comes for me to settle this once and for all.... I got backup!

I also will be sure to tell me kids the proper use of the dialogue. :D
