I was born at around 6AM on February 22nd…in India. So when I was born, it was still February 21st in the US. So technically, I should’ve been able to drive a day earlier, drink a day earlier, vote a day earlier, etc. When the time comes, I should be able to retire a day earlier with the same benefits. What do you think?
I think you’re thinking to much about this
My mom says my son was born on her birthday, since it was still May 21st in her time zone. (He was born at 1:30 a.m on May 22nd in the Central zone, and Mom was living on the West coast at the time, two hours earlier than us.)
I told her that, by that logic, it wasn’t even her birthday anymore, because she was born in Central as well.
I think she just likes to argue.
I don’t have an answer for you.
So when you go to the moon someday, and you’re on the moon when it’s the third week in February back on Earth, when will you celebrate your birthday?
Answer me that!
Good point. I guess it would have to be Indian time. Nothing else would really make sense to my fellow interplanetary partiers.
Birthdays don’t care about what happens after you’re born: when you were born it was the 22nd where you were born, so the 22nd is your birthday.
My late aunt was born on February 29. In non-leap years, she celebrated it on February 28 in order to keep it in the same month. I’d have chosen March 1 if it were me.
