Happy Birthday to the Girl Child

How can the Girl Child be 19 years old? I just don't get what happened here. I'm pretty sure she turned twelve at her last birthday. Even the Hub explained that he didn't use 16 candles because there weren't enough green ones. (She doesn't like cake or pie so he stuck candles - one pink, six green -  in raspberry cheese danish pastries.) This is our last "kid at home" birthday; all our babies are grown-up. Where did the time go?
