TOTAL RUBBISH!!. 
Rita WASN'T born 4 years ago, so how can her and Wendy's ages sum to 2, then? 

Plus, the only way their ages could've summed to 2, was if both were 1, 4 years ago, or Rita was born then (age = 0), and Wendy was 2 years-old. 

But, as stated before, Rita wasn't born then so she couldn't have been 1 year-old, and couldn't be 0 years-old either. 

AGAIN, TOTAL RUBBISH that needs to be DUMPED.
