Apparently, I was never born.

Another thing I just remembered… my sister said she still has the ID bracelet that I wore in the hospital. Which I now vaguely remember seeing later in childhood.

Clearly, they were thorough in setting up my identity.

Can I have your stuff?

Wanna move it?

I just got home and found my birth certificate. The date of birth is as expected, but it says, “Registered on Aug 15th”. Maybe that has something to do with it…?

Nah, that would be when your birth was registered (by your parents) in the province of Ontario.

Touche.

You win this round, sir.

I’m serious. I’m moving next week, and I need all the help I can get.

No, the obvious answer is that his parents are deep-undercover moles for the Central Intelligence Agency. They were sent to Canada decades ago to establish themselves as Canadians and the Agency even faked the birth records of their child. In reality he was born in Maryland. Why would the CIA send moles to Canada, you ask? Well, they never really trusted their northern neighbor. The CIA actually spent more money spying on Ottawa than it ever spent on spying on Moscow or Beijing.

Undercover CIA operative? C’mon now, be serious. Who’s going to believe a story like that? That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all [del]day[/del] week.
It’s quite obvious to me; sunspace is an ALIEN! :eek:
Hey, sunspace, how do you feel when you’re around Kryptonite? No reason, just askin’.

Could be a typo. My dad got a copy of my birth certificate when I was 10 years old or so (for tax purposes? Not sure) and was quite surprised to find that according to the State of Ohio, he was actually the parent of a 13-year-old. In other words, the birth certificate had my year of birth wrong by three years…

That could’ve come in very handy when you turned 18 (or 15 depending on your age and where you lived).

Perhaps you were filed without a proper first name, also - it used to be somewhat common for people’s early official paperwork to be filed with the first name listed as “Baby Girl”, “Baby Boy” or “Female” or “Male”.

I read somewhere that in certain areas that it was actually more usual than not for babies to get listed that way in hospital records.

Huh. Now I wonder what they did for same gendered twins that left the hospital without being named - baby boy 1 and baby boy 2?

I don’t know about the paperwork, but the actually babies were labelled that way.

When my friends the Smiths had twins, the blue plastic strips on the wrists of the babies were labelled “Smith I” and Smith II"

No, it means they made a mistake in wiping out your identity. (“Dammit, Jones, I told you to check the “sister’s” jewelry box!” My office! NOW!").
