Happy 8.5th Birthday!!!

"So which day do you exactly celebrate? "Is one question I'm asked every time I inform someone that I'm a leap year born! The answer I give is for 3 days!

Bring born on February 29 has the basic advantage of being able to choose when I want to celebrate my birthday whether February 28 or March 1!  People start wishing from 28th Feb and the wishing continues till March 2nd....The confusion of the dates leads to people wishing over an extended period of time!

While the people born on Leap year (or as I like to call them Leapers) are always hearing the same jokes again and again about their birthdays....a few advantages of being a Leapling that nobody else has are:

1. While everybody is turning 40....we're actually turning 10!

2. We can make our birthday into an event. When your birthday happens every four years like the Olympics, you have a better excuse to go all out. Leap-year babies can set up a spectacular party, visit friends and relatives and generally have an excellent time.

3. We age only .25 every year till Leap year

4.  People remember our birthday. Although mostly people tend to forget our birthdays during non-leap years, but February 29, is a date everyone remembers to wish...after all there are very few people born on that date!

5. Facebook can’t decide when your birthday is, just like everyone it too gets confused listing the dates!

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.

I know 2018 is NOT a leap year, but hey! We're half way there!!
