We discovered on my fifteenth birthday, that I was born in November. Like the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party from Alice in Wonderland today is my un-birthday. With two birthdays, I should be famous.
Back in 1972
to have a social security card was considered cool
but as luck would have it to my surprise
I was born a whole month later without reason why
fifteen has its own set of dilemmas but add wrong birthday on school records
sigh
Went through all the possibilities
wrote three letters to the powers that be
could not come up with why my parents could not remember my birthday
from then on I claimed them both
and double in age every year
in November, I turn 104
not so severe
