When did this happen?

I'm in Ottawa for a friend's wedding, and staying with my aunt. Last night, my cousin Valerie was saying "Oh, don't worry about the kids. You can just send them home if you want. [she was going out shopping]. They're old enough to stay by themselves."

I'm thinking to myself: the kids are 9 years old; is it OK for 9 year olds to stay by themselves? I ask Tyler how old he is, and he says "11." And his sister Melissa is two years older than him!

When did these kids get this old?
