That was then, this is now!

Happy Birthday, Shelly!

That was ThenThis is NowI’m never really sure when my sister’s birthday is. It was always November 14th. But then, for some reason, she needed to get her original birth certificate from a hospital in Quebec. When she got it, it said November 15th. So, then her birthday was November 15th. Our mother was insistent that she was not mistaken all those years, but how could you argue with official paperwork? Well, we came up with a theory. The hospital reproduced the birth certificate based on a Julian date, that is, the day of the year. Well, my sister was born on the 319th day of the year. AND as everyone knows, the 319th day of the year is…. November 15th. Except, of course, on a leap year. My sister was born on a leap year so ta da! She was really born on November 14th. Mom, you were right!

Either way, Happy Birthday little sister!
