"Hi there! Yeah, I know I'm all cute and stuff, but I'm ALSO really good at puzzles. What's that? You wanna know my age? Well...OK.
The difference between Mama's age and Papa's age is the same as my age. Oh, and my big sister is twice my age, which happens to be one-third my mom's age. And one more thing: in five years, I'll be my sister's age.
OK, enough hints! How old am I?"

"Hey, not bad!
Papa's 35 and Mama's 30, meaning the difference in their ages is the same as my age, like I said.
As for my big sis, she's 10. That's twice my age and a third of Mama's. In five years, I'll be 10 and my sister will be 15. Can you believe it? I'll practically be a grown-up by then!"

Hey, not bad!
The girl's father is 35 and her mother is 30, meaning the difference in their ages is the same as the girl's age, as she said.
As for her big sister, she's 10. That's twice the girl's age and a third of their mother's. In five years, the girl will be 10, which is her sister's age now.
Kids these days grow up so quickly!
