Does anyone know anyone having a birthday today?

I knew someone once. He claimed to be the youngest professor at the University, only 17.

I knew a lawyer in the 90s who had a son whose birthday was today.
 
Surely any smart parents would not make their child celebrate a birthday on February 29th and "negotiated" with the hospital or whoever to have the date of birth officially noted as February 28th or March 1st. Right? This is what happens, right?

I'm very certain it doesn't

anyway, on topic: nobody I know of. I even checked facebook, no friends have birthday today there

I doubt that any amount of negotiation could get that done, though it seems worth trying.
 
It's March 1 already, dude, wake up and mind time zones! :p

No, I'm up early.

That's what happens when kindergarten starts at 8, so I have to get my daughter to bed by 10pm so that she does not hate me too much in the morning, and fall asleep beside her, which she loves.

But don't worry, sleep will catch me up in a couple of hours and then I either am up late indeed (like at about noon) or join your club of self-haters at about 7am ;)
 
Only person I knew who had a leap day birthday put it like this: my birthday is always the day after February 28th. Sometimes it's February 29th, sometimes it's the 1st of March.

I am also certain it is not. To the contrary, in fact.

Why? It's cool, even a bragging point.

I think if you're born on a leap day you enter another dimension at approximately 12:00 AM on March 1 of the following year, since your existence is impossible in this reality.
 
Well leap day birthday is the only good way to get retired at the age of 17 ;)

Why would they do that? Having a child's birthday on February 29th must be the most hilarious thing you can do as a parent. Other than the fun you can have with that it also saves a lot of money to only buy presents every 4 years.

And then, when you're in your 60s and your child is... 10 or so he or she will come forward and thank you for teaching him or her all they needed to know about humility.

Then, once you start becoming senile you'll find yourself in the cheapest retirement home in the country and you'll be like: "Totally worth it."
 
My father used to employ a secretary who was born on leap day. I think we both had our 10th birthdays during the same year. I'm not sure I ever met her though.

If I had children and one of them was born on February 29th, I would just tell them they were born on the 28th. Why bother making their birthdays potentially miserable? From what I've seen people who have such a birthday hate the arrangement, especially when they're younger. So if I had a child in this situation, I wouldn't want to put them through that.

I have no idea what sort of issues might come up when the kid's filling out forms on his own, but I figure by that age, I'd expose the truth to him/her, and all will be good.

I'd make an amazing parent, obviously, or a horrible one. Take your pick.
