That's interesting. I'd think with all the forms of identification you're required to have nowadays, she would've known her birthday!

Because back in the day they didn't have all that information we have now. My great aunt, who's in her 90s, doesn't actually know what day her birthday is because because the dates aren't the same on some official documents, and she's the youngest of 7 so her parents didn't remember which day it was either.

Almost the same happened to my grandmother! Except she was 40 or 50 when they found out.

My grandmother's birthday is registered a day after she was actually born because all of the nurses had gone home. That means they had to wait until the morning to register her. She only found out last year - when she turned 70 - when she found it in her dad's journal.

Just wondering why this comment got so many negative votes (?) I thought the same thing, Miss_Whipped.

Because others have supplied perfectly reasonable arguments as to why a person could mistake their birthday.

Well, I guess they're not going to remain secret families for much longer, then. Congratulations (and happy birthday) , OP!

Happy birthday both of you
