Interesting Math Problem

-- Original Message --
I'm not a math genius but I like a challenge and I was thinking over the
wend and am now stuck as to how to go.
My youngest son, Silas is 3
My daughter, Millie is 5
My eldest son, Samuel is 7
These are all prime numbers
My age is a prime number, as is that of the ex wife (although she is older
and fatter than me) - we are both 37
When will this occur again?
By the way, the architect who my ex wife knows rather too well is also a
prime (43) but I don't really care too much for him so he can be excluded
from the equation.
Happy coding, people. My mother, the math teacher already has a solution
that is so tedious it makes you wish you knew SQL instead. Oops.

"Escriba coda ergo sum." -- vbSenseiIt will never happen again. Your children are each 2 years apart. All
prime numbers are odd.
If you take any 3 consecutive odd numbers, one of them will always be
divisible by three.
(if you take any 6 consecutive numbers two of them will be divisible by 3,
one even and one odd)
So the only time you can have 3 consecutive odd number that are all prime,
is 3, 5 and 7.
So, after this, you and your kids are all past your prime.
