No, this is not a lie because there is a possibility (however slight, it exists) that your do not accurately remember your age.
I could say that Bush is a liar because he, just tonight, denied having claimed he never said he was not concerned with Bin Laden - but there is an undeniable and unknowable possibility that he simply forgot that he said that (which, truth be told, I believe he probably did forget).
