Well, a milestone has come and gone\u2026 we had a busy week and I didn\u2019t get around to talking about it here. The milestone was June 25th. On that day every year, it\u2019s exactly six months to Christmas. But more importantly, it\u2019s two of my kids birthdays\u2026 that\u2019s right, I said two. You\u2019re probably thinking what a coincidence \u2014 two kids born on the same day, and, they\u2019re not twins. Well, it turns out that the two kids are married to each other. Dave and Chassie share the same birthday.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re into astrology, you might make something of this\u2026 although I find astrology interesting, I\u2019m not \u201cin to it.\u201d I did read a bit about it, and people born on the same day, same year and same time are termed \u201ctime twins.\u201d This doesn\u2019t apply to Dave and Chassie because they weren\u2019t born in the same year. But I got to wondering if there was a word or phrase that described people with the same birthday. As far as I can tell, there is no proper word for the situation. Usually, people with the same birth date are referred to as \u201cbirthday twins.\u201d But I did uncover some information that indicated the term \u201cIrish twins\u201d is an accepted description when two people are born on the same day and month but one year apart! That fits Dave and Chassie perfectly.<\/p>\n
As I said, it\u2019s been a busy time around our house and theirs\u2026 in fact, since their last birthday, their house has changed \u2014 literally \u2014 they just moved into a new house.
\nSo belated happy birthday to the Irish Twins and for the rest of us, welcome to the countdown to Christmas\u2026.
