“Hey! My parents gave me this car! I believe I was conceived in the back seat!”
“Yeah, and it’s still sticky.”
–St. Elmo’s Fire
Oh, me? November 4th. So close enough, but bear in mind I was about two weeks late. So maybe not so close. Apparently, it was Lincoln’s birthday that got my parents in the mood. Which, of course brings up another movie moment…
“I’m making love to this perfect female body…but the head of…Abraham Lincoln.”
And upon hearing the happy news of a new baby, her friends and acquaintances pause to mark the event with reflections common to all mankind on such a joyous event.
“Let’s see, she was married in September, she’s due in June… that’s three… four… five…”
One one of my sisters was born on November 13[sup]th[/sup] and another on October 4[sup]th[/sup]. I was born almost exactly 9 months after my parents’ 21[sup]st[/sup] anniversary and a the eldest of my siblings was born on September 15[sup]th[/sup], two days shy of their first anniversary. Maybe they were having some fun on Christmas?
My mother was born on November 8. A friend of mine was also born on November 8. A few years ago on his 30th birthday his wife gave birth to his fourth child (a son).
I tried that conception calculator for another one of my sisters. It appears that my parents found an innovative way to celebrate Thanksgiving one year.
Hmmm well the story in my house is that my folks got married in February and I was miraculously born late enough that no one knew they were pregnant before the wedding… except they didn’t actually get married until I was 8. They just lied to everyone!! Then they had rat boy.
I was a late march conception… wonder where easter fell in 1972!
