Lorelai was trying to emphasize to Joey that Rory was WAAY too young
for him. Rounding up would
not be the way to do that. Saying she was fifteen would make more of an
impact about her youth than
sixteen would.

Since it was the Pilot ep, why would it be shown later? I thought that
was the idea of a pilot
ep -- to start things out introducing the settings, the people, and their
relation****ps.
I don't think the Birthday episode had been written yet. And when it
was, and since she
couldn't be seventeen, they probably hoped no one would notice.
