Also, how would that work on things like birth certificates?
I dunno, but it’s only every four years that I can give my dad his present on his birthday.
This year I saved up and got him some Johnnie Walker blue lol.
My friend in grammar school had a Leap Day birthday and his parents’ solution was that his birthday was celebrated “the day after February 28th”.
Most divided by celebrating 28th / 1st, few celebrate at midnight between, few celebrate both (Vox 2016)
Feb 29th. I’m 7 now.
j/k
Wow, he’s probably older than his target now.
It’s an old meme sir, but it checks out.
be real cool if you weren’t making a funny little joke about pedophiles there, mate
Man, I never realized how big that foot was.
I have two goddaughters, born 4 years apart. Each were due on 29th Feb, both arrived on the 1st March. I’m still disappointed by their lateness.
But in both cases the parents had decided to celebrate on the 1st of March on non-leap years, had they arrived on their due dates.
Related question is when does the government celebrate your birthday. Sure, you can go apply for your drivers license on your 16th birthday on February 29, but your 18th and 21st birthdays aren’t on leap years. When can you get your first legal drink? (I’m assuming March 1st, as the bars don’t want to risk serving you a day early.)
Idk about other governments but the US seems to be “after the 28th”, so you can drink on March 1st
Turned 13 today. I complain that my wife only buys me a present every four years. She says if I keep saying that, it may come true. Also, at work, I tell them to excuse my behavior, I’m just acting my age.
As far as 28th vs March 1st, well, I celebrate both days. If I’m getting scammed out of birthdays three out of four years, I’m taking an extra day on those off years!
I like this take the best
Does your wife know you’re 13?
I feel like celebrating on March 1st when it’s not a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then their birthday is the day after February 28.
Wife and I just had this conversation about drinking in the US. Legal drinking age is 21. So if you’re born Feb 29th, can you drink on the 28th? No. If your birthday is January 2nd, you can’t drink on January 1st. Only makes sense to me that it’d be March 1st, but I’m born in Dec, so not really my choice or opinion that matters. :-D Just saying.
If I were the one, I’d celebrate 2/28 evening and 3/1 morning
2/28 evening UNTIL 3/1 morning.
On the 90’s TV show Wings, there was a character, Roy Biggens, whose birthday was on Feb 29th, and his parents were dicks, so they only let him celebrate on Feb 29th. So, in the show when he was turning 40 years old he had a 10th birthday party with all the shit a 10-year-old would want.
I don’t know but I’d assume that the birth certificate just states the date of your birth. It is an actual date, just one that doesn’t occur annually.
So then I’d be curious. Does their drivers license show it expiring on the 28th or 1st?
My driver’s license (Dutch) doesn’t expire on my birthday but 10 years after the date it was issued. If it were issued on the 29th of februari, it would expire on March first since it would be valid on the 28th but not on the 1st.
Most in America expire on your birthday in X number of years even if the date of issue is a different day.
Weird.
Definitely, we use the Imperial system after all.
My sister-in-law was born on Feb 29th. She celebrates on the 28th, and during leap year accepts congratulations on both days :)
I know a musician born on 29 February (you might know her for her contributions to the soundtracks of Celeste and Minecraft to name two), and as far as I know, she celebrates it on 1 March… in the case of a non-leap year.
