Rounding
Frida is complaining to Inga about her being taken for someone older than she actually is.
...
Frida: I’m going to the movies with my daughter and she says this is my mother, she is 60 so she should get a half price ticket.
Inga: But you’re only 59.
Frida: I know, but she’s getting the tickets and after we are inside I say, “I’m not 60 yet. Why do always you round up my age?” And she says it’s easier or something.
Inga: My daughter did the same but much worse. When I was 58 she rounded me up to 60. Swedish rounding.
Frida: Well, in that case you can stay 60 until you turn 63.
Inga: Sure, then in one day I jump to 65.
