"a-yo and b-yo sons

What does this mean?"

a and b stand for "any number", then "years old"

eg 10-yo and 9-yo sons



I really don't get it then, why not simply write "sons" if the ages aren't relevant?


The usual format of the rant is the parent talking about their X year old son to accentuate the youth of the child involved
