the .5 is a step child or a kid from another relationship
really the 2.5 kids was the stereotype American family. That is the average number of kids in a household with a white picket fence. The dream family and dream life

It is an average of the country. No one really has .5 (or 1/2) of a kid. Some people use that as an expression or a joke as they carry on a conversation.

It's a tongue in cheek reference to a statistical norm for the country established a few decades back.

Sounds like he heard a funny joke once but didn't know how to deliver the punch line to you. I used to say that and it was funny.
