As kids, we used to love using those 6 weeks between our birthdays (when we were the same age...and we looked nothing alike!) to meet new people, and when they asked our age, we'd have the same answer! Their usual response: "Oh, you're twins, then?" "No." Every year, on March 18, I'd "reach his age." On May 1, he'd suddenly gain a year in age! (he passed 7 years ago)

When Mom would tell her story of how and why, she used to say 2 things: "The chute was well-greased," and "I found out what caused it, and stopped!" That was our mom....we lovingly called her "a salty broad," which she loved!šŸ¤—
