Deirdre, Minte's mother, just emailed to report that Minte has turned 14. The BNS didn't realize that people can turn 13 on one day and then 14 just a few days later. Perhaps this was the way they do it in New York, where Minte was born.
The BNS based its fact checking on shaking 15 year old Isabel Batiansila awake and asking her how old Minte was. Isabel looked shocked, then faked like she was still reading a Willa Cather novel, then mumbled "13. Didn't you just ask me that?" Who needs more fact checking than that?
So happy birthday Minte! Does this mean you turn 15 in the next few days?

I'd like to point out that Minte HATES math. Thus, numbers and silly designations like that don't apply to Minte. Let's give her a variable that accounts for her age. X=(age of Minte) + (number of times dedo has given BNS phony info) / (pages of willa cather book izzi has read).
