April 14th. Just like my sister and brother. I'm not a triplet. But I am a twin. My sister and I were born on my brother's birthday.
That's mad !!! At least your parents only had to remember 1 day a year

Good morning! :wave3: And Happy Friday! :banana1: I'm really happy today because Rick and I are taking the day off work to spend together. :woohoo:

Easy question this morning: When is your birthday (you don't have to tell your year, just month and day)?

My birthday is January 24.
We're practically twins! January 21st here. :wave3:

July 4. The only day worse is December 25. It's like not even having a birthday because no one is paying attention.
It must really stink to share a birthday with a big holiday like Chirstmas or Independence Day :alright: My birthday is in September right as the school year is starting (elementry right through college) so no one ever remembered it because friends were all too busy with new classes and friends and activities. Even now years post-college no one remembers (or maybe they just don't care?). And forget family :headshake:

The only good thing that's come out of my July 4 birthday was that I discovered my husband's infidelity because of it. I found a "love with all my heart" birthday card on his dresser that was unsigned expressing disappointment because the two lovers couldn't be together on the other's birthday. Since my birthday was Independence Day, we were never separated on my birthday, so I knew he hadn't bought it for me. I checked the calendar, and his previous birthday had fallen on a Sunday, when the two of them really were separated.

The odds would be 1 in 365.25.

.
Wouldn't that be the odds of one being born on another's birthday? I would think the odds of having a pair of twins being born on another siblings birthday would be the odds of having twins, 67 to one, times 365.25. That would be one in 24,471. But what do I know. I loved some math courses, but I did not like statistics! :p

"My sister and I were born on my brother's birthday."

"I wonder what the odds are on that happening."


Without addressing the probabilities that one twin might be born at 11:59PM and the other at 12:01AM, the event is a birth ("my sister and I were born..."). Unless the cause of the birth being twins rather than a single child can be proven to have been caused by that birth occurring on a particular day (e.g. the Mother would not have had twins had she given birth on a different day), the odds are 1 in 365.25.

Boris Diamond Boris Diamond that is amazing! My brother and I were born a day apart - that is, 8 years and one day. I was told he would be my birthday present, but he arrived late! I should have known right then he would be Trouble ha haaa.
