1. Close friends and relatives say I'm an overgrown child or maybe even worse than a child where birthdays are considered!!! I know I'm going to turn 31 but actually I'm still a 7 year old...what else can u expect from a 7year old!!!! Yes I'm born in a leap year....29th feb!!!!
Trust me only people born in a leap year know how it feels like when u have to wait for 4 years for your original birthday to come!!
2. Everyone gets so confused about the date in non-leap years that they end up wishing us for 3 days and so it's a 3 day celebration for 3 years. Forget people, even Facebook gets confused for 3 years about notifying your birthday!!
3. After you turn 21, who cares? All birthdays are are an annual reminder of your impending death and all the friends you no longer keep in contact with. But if your birthday only comes every four years? Suddenly it’s an event. People feel sorry for you. People think you’re entitled to something extra special. 29th February is a date nobody can forget....it's unique!! So no matter whether you are in touch with your friends or no, 29th feb is the day your friends would surely remember you! Your phone gets extra busy receiving calls from long lost friends and relatives on that day!
4. You actually will be a kid all your life and even if u are 40 years old, you can still say you are 10years old and you wouldn't be lying about it!!!! It is the best excuse if u don't have a driving licence(if u know what I mean!!!)
5. You get to have an extra special grand party on your original birthday and nobody can say NO since it comes once in 4 years!!
6. All kinds of interesting things happen in February. Valentine’s Day. President’s Day. Black History Month. None of these involve me in the slightest, but February in a leap year has ME written all over it....it's MY month and MY birthday.
Yes yes! I know 2015 is NOT a leap year, but hey!! 2016 is not far enough!!!! ;)
