Two Generations Of Leap Year Babies How Cool Is That?
“It was just luck. All the stars lined up at the right time,” Michelle, 32, told the New York Post. The pair will no doubt be celebrating in a special way. In fact, this is only the eighth time Michelle gets to celebrate on her “real” birthday (Leap Year babies usually celebrate on February 28 or March 1).
The advantage, Michelle points out, is that everyone remembers Leap Year birthdays even strangers. “The checkout lady at the market was always saying ‘Happy birthday,’ ” she recalls. It’s just that memorable. And rare. Which is why it’s so incredible that a mother-daughter pair would share such a unique birthday.
The odds of a mom and child sharing Leap Day birthdays are 1 in 2.1 million, according to Tufts University professor James Ennis.
