Fooled

My birth stories: I was a gift to my mother's sister, born on her birthday. To ensure a timely landing, Mom was driven over every bumpy road within 20 miles. It worked; I popped out at a quarter to midnight. Aunty and I celebrated together every year; her daughter's birthday was 3 days later but she was allowed some cake too. I was delivered in a specific birthing room in a small local private hospital in which Mom later worked as a nurse. Three weeks after me, Tom Waits was born in the same room. But I look better. My parents were both dark-haired. I was born a blondie but darkened a few years later, much to their relief. Luckily the milkman was not blond.
 
I'm forever amazed what people put in writing.

I looked at the thread Laurel linked... Brilliant. I love that she has "HATTED" with men.
 
is it proven ull get cancer?!?!?!.....cuz damn thats way not cool...

What?!? Cancer is not "way cool"?!? Are you fucking kidding me?! Why else do people smoke cigarettes? Just so they can smell like ass?
 
So you were born in 1966, and when you got to 2006, you assumed you were turning 41 instead of 40?

This reminds me of something important: I'm a Nigerian prince, and I really need your assistance.

No, what is 2006-1966 ? 40. Which is incorrect, I was 39 then. Try the link above [CONFIRMED] with my birthdate to verify this.

Nice to know I'm not the only person that this confused. :)

Laurel, Oggbashan, I feel for you ... Sometimes things like that stay in your head a long time.

Aquagal, after 15 they didn't put that many candles on my cake but used digits. And I really don't think Dad was being mean, he was like my sister, and just really didn't know how old I was either.

I'm always blaming my sister for teasing or taunting me in some way, but I think this was definitely just a clerical error.

I know I had difficulty remembering my Dad's own birthdate nor did I really know how old he was until he passed away 7-years ago.

I also KNOW I'm not the only person who may not know the exact age of all their family. It can get confusing when you are born so close to the end of the year.

It's funny, it has always been a true concern of mine, that I would some day not remember how old I am.
 
My mother doesn't know for sure which year she was born in...she has two birth certificates two years apart.

Ok, so you were the correct age til you were 15, and then you were 17? Dude, you got fucked over missing out on your Sweet 16!!!

You were 39 in 2006...BEFORE YOU HAD YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!


Okay peeps who made this alt up?
 
I don't understand. Do you not have a driver license? My birth date is on mine. You have never had to fill out paperwork stating your birthdate? Birth certificate? :confused:

My mother-in-law never had a birth certificate. She knew exactly where and when she was born but didn't have a birth certificate. She was born in a British Army base in South Africa during the 1st World War. When she wanted to learn to drive she needed a birth certificate for her provisional driving licence. It took weeks of correspondence before she was able to persuade 'the authorities' to accept her baptism certificate, which stated her date of birth as well as the date of baptism.

Once she had her provisional driving licence, and then passed her driving test, her driving licence was enough proof of her date of birth.

Years after my mother-in-law had died, my wife was researching the family history, using the internet. My wife was able to order a copy of her mother's birth certificate from South Africa. It had been signed by the same C of E minister as the Baptism Certificate. He was also the base registrar.

I'm ... 48 ?? I saw this when I entered my Birthdate in LIT and it calculated it, yet my sister insisted that I was 49 ?

That's not fair ! She's been telling me I'm a year older for YEARS now and I've been believing her.

I was even going to have a black cake and black balloons to show for it a few months from now, and she was all for it.

November 30th, 1966 11:47pm
CONFIRMED !

Did any of you have one of your brothers or sisters trick you into believing something and you not discover it until years later ?
How fucking daft are you?

This says A LOT about the Texas educational system.
 
It took you 49 years?

I just found out what our state stone was yesterday and Im 55. Guy gave me a hard time for not knowing and Im like wtf dude. We have a state stone?

So yeah. We have a state stone. A petoskey stone.

Who knew.

More importantly. Who cared.

I think the only "clerical error" here was that someone issued a certificate saying you had graduated kindergarten.
 
This thread has me questioning my belief in everything.

Maybe time is a lie.

Maybe perception is a lie.

Maybe reality is a lie.

How do any of us know for sure?

Fuck everything!
