what does "a half kid"mean?
“You know each other? Before tonight, I mean.”
“Yeah. He lost a bet with his wife last year and had to take one of my yoga classes. Now he’s a semi-regular.”
“Vinnie’s married?”
“With one and a half kids. They live down in South Point and throw exceptional barbecues.”
Maybe Vinnie had changed, Eli thought as he continued to scan the room. He remembered a rail-thin guy, perpetually high, who’d lived for the next wave and dreamed of moving to Hawaii.

Answer

thank you so much

Answer

Su.Ki.'s response is not correct in this instance.

Answer

It's a joke - the average number of children each family has is 1.5, so it's joking about the fact that he's got a really average life with nothing unusual about it.

Answer

It might mean that he has one child of his own and one step-child. Or that his wife is expecting their second child.
