When I was about 6, one of the boys in my class told me that his older sister was turning 7. I got seriously confused because I knew his sister, and she was ALREADY 7 and couldn't understand why you got two 7th birthdays. So I asked him why, and he said it was because thats the law. Later on I asked my mom when my second 7th birthday was...she just looked at me like I was insane and told me to finish my dinner.
