Oh that is so annoying to me! I wanted to sign my DD up for a camp last year and they wouldn't let me because you had to give a birthday. I know many parents lie to get there kids in to things and depending on what it is... okay, I can see it can have an educational opportunity for the child etc. but.... it's really frustrating. I wanted my daughter to enter a contest too and emailed to ask if she was able to do it and they said no, the age was for the HS kids who didn't know what grade they were in?! HUH?! That's lame! It's hard. I just try not to make a big deal out of it and tell her... next year though I really want to say.... THAT'S DUMB! haha!
