At the beginning of Something Rotten, Thursday says that she's been working at Jurisfiction for two years. When she started, Friday was barely conceived, so how can he be two years old now?
Apologies if this has been brought up already - I looked through the topic listing and couldn't see anything that was obviously about this anomaly.
*ahem* See previous post: "When she started, Friday was barely conceived,"
I know she was pregnant, but not by much. She'd have had to have been at Jurisfiction for the best part of three years before Friday even had his second birthday.
In a world/multiverse/library where time travel is possible all timeline inconsistancies can be sweeped under the carpet with ease.

Wouldn't you know, their clocks are just that little amount slow!
Or maybe he's more "two-ish" and there's a lack of reliable calenders.
He was born a bit early?
