When I was growing up a friends mum's birthday was the 29th Feb, she had a huge party every 4 years

She also only counted leap years towards her age, so her son is older than she is

Wouldn't that be weird Very funny though

So that means that wheen she would have been celebrating her 40th birthday (if she weren't born on the 29th) she'll be celebrating her 30th

But how does that work with things that are age restricted? Could she go to an 18 rated film but only have celebrated 14 birthdays

I hope my maths is right on this I'm confusing myself.

Any connection between your reality and mine is completly coincidental

That's what I meant

That's even worse. She's have to live to 72 before she coud see an 18 rated film

I always was terrible at maths I feel like an idiot now.

Kaz, did you ask your partner to marry you? Did he say yes?

Sorry to disappoint, but no I chickened out. Although a friend got down on her knees in the theatre and asked on my behalf without discussing with me and really embarrased him.
