When I was at my sister's house, my 7 year old nephew asked his mom how old the baby was now. She replied "He's six days old". That got us on a quest to find out how many days old the the rest of us were*:
7 year old nephew: 2,737 days old
Me: 11,160 days old
After calculating these two ages, the following dialogue took place:
Nephew: "Wow! You're old!"
Me: "Yes, I am old. But, your mom is still older".
I think there is a reason we calculate our age in years rather than days. I'd much rather be 30 than 11,160.
*days are approximate. We didn't actually get out a calendar and count the exact amount of days.

Oh boy, that's a different way to look at age.
