Peter had a big crush on a Hispanic girl named Limon. Peter had seen Limon while at school. Peter had followed Limon to her house to talk to her about how he felt about her. When Peter arrived at Limon's house her father had answered the door.
"Yes?" said her father.
"I would like to talk to your daughter Limon," answered Peter.
He led Peter to the living room and asked him a question.
"To prove you really know my daughter, tell me how old she is," said the father.
Peter had no idea.
"It's just as I expected. Fine, if you really like my daughter, I will give you a clue." He got out some paper and wrote:
LIMON
Peter had no clue for the next three minutes. He soon gave up and just guessed 15, his own age. Limon's dad laughed and escorted Peter out of the house without a word. He obviously didn't get the age correct.
How old was Limon?
