Age
During the third episode of the show's first season ("Order of the Straight Arrow"), Hank refers to Bobby and his friends as being 11-12 years old. Hank may have been rounding up in Bobby's case since in the eighth episode of that season ("Shins of the Father"), Bobby has a birthday party. It can be assumed that Bobby turns 12 on this occasion since his next birthday, shown in in the fifth season ("I Don't Want to Wait for Our Lives to Be Over..."), has him turning 13. Bobby remains 13 for the duration of the series, despite the fact that several Christmas episodes air and his cousin Luanne Platter gives birth to a child of her own. In a coincidental matter, the show technically ran for 13 years (the last episode, "Just Another Manic Kahn-Day", aired in 2010); Bobby was 13 when the series ended; there was a statement in the episode To Sirloin with Love from Hank saying "I've been waiting 13 years for " - an inadvertent fourth wall joke.

Famous quotes containing the word age:
“The sign of a Philistine age is the cry of immorality against art.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The spirit of the place is a strange thing. Our mechanical age tries to override it. But it does not succeed. In the end the strange, sinister spirit of the place, so diverse and adverse in differing places, will smash our mechanical oneness into smithereens.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Beautiful credit! The foundation of modern society. Who shall say that this is not the golden age of mutual trust, of unlimited reliance upon human promises? That is a peculiar condition of society which enables a whole nation to instantly recognize point and meaning in the familiar newspaper anecdote, which puts into the mouth of a distinguished speculator in lands and mines this remark:M”I wasn’t worth a cent two years ago, and now I owe two millions of dollars.””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
