Baby's Words - "How Old Are You" vs "How Are You"

Conversation with my three years old daughter...

Mummy : When people ask "how old are you?", you should answer "I am three years old."
Kate : Okay.

*****

One day, we bumped into a friend in shopping complex.

Friend : Hello, Kate, how are you?
Kate : I am three years old!!
Mummy : No… baby, when people ask "how are you?", you should say "I am fine or I am good."

Kate stared at me with her blur face, but I knew that she was thinking hard trying to digest what I have just said.

After that incident, whenever people ask Kate “how are you?” or “how old are you?”, her standard answer will be, “I am three years old. I am fine and good!!”….. Faint….


p/s - telephone conversation....

Mummy : Hello, Baby Kate….
Kate : I am three years old and I am fine and good!!
Mummy faint…..
