I'm adopted!!!
Ok. I'm not. But I felt like I had just been told that I was when I foun out about this. I had one of those my-whole-life-has-been-a-lie moments!!
Here's what happened...
After the dpressing day that was my birthday, I went home and took a nap. When I woke up, I had a call from my mother. She was calling to say happy birthday. We talked, and talked, and suddenly she said
"Oh it's 5.58 am here. The exact time you were born 22 years ago."
I was puzzled. I said
"It's 5.58 am on the 23rd of February. I was born on the 22nd."
And then there was the news..
I was actually born on the 23rd of February!!! But because I was born 2 minutes before 6 am, they recorded the birth date as 22nd of February. See, apparently, according to the system, a day starts at 6 am. So according to the system, I was born on the 22nd, and not the 23rd.
I was shocked shocked shocked!!!!!
All these years, I wake up at 5.58 am on the 22nd every single year (well.. not every year. Whatever) to wish myself happy birthday, and now I found out that I've been doing that a day too early!!!
But come to think of it, I now have all the rights in the world to celebrate 2 birthdays- 1 legal birthday, and 1 actual birthday. So basically, my mom's birthday gift for me this year was another birthday. I'm the luckiest person in the whole wide world!!!
Anyways, I'd like to thank everyone who remembered, and especially Liza, Sven, Jon, Adelheid, and Hilmi for the cards and the presents. Oh and my mom!! All the cards and presents are perfect perfect perfect!!!! Not to mention sweet sweet sweet!!!
Thank you all...
