Twin born second is the older of the two
A North Carolina woman gave birth to twins: Peter emerged first, then came Allison. But it's Allison who is the older of the two.
A North Carolina woman gave birth to twins: Peter emerged first, then came Allison. But it's Allison who is the older of the two.How can that be?
"Yes, Peter was born first, it was at 1:32 a.m. [Sunday]," mother Laura Cirioli told WRAL-TV in Raleigh, N.C. And Allison was born 34 minutes later.
In between, however, came the end of Daylight Saving Time, sending the clocks back one hour.
Thus, Peter's 1:32 a.m. birth time lags behind Allison's 1:06 a.m.
"We just never even thought about it until after he was born, and then we realized it was going to happen. It was really kind of amazing," Cirioli told the TV station.

That's awesome! Of course, it makes me wonder why they don't register births in Greenwich Mean Time.
ReplyDeleteAs one of my coworkers remarked, "They'll win a lot of bar bets when they grow up."
That would make sense, but wouldn't be nearly as cool a story.
