“Hey, mom! I just realized something!”
“Don’t talk with your mouth full, James.”
(nom, nom, nom…gulp)
“Ok, I finished chewing, so now can I dazzle you with my brilliance????!”
“Sure. Knock it out of the park.”
“Well, I realized that I am the oldest and my birthday is in August. Then Christopher is the NEXT oldest and his birthday is in July. Matthew was the youngest and his birthday is in June and you said that the baby is due on June 3rd but will almost positively be born in May because we all came early!”
“Yes?”
“It all goes in order!! May, June, July and August! And we go in order by age backward! How cool is that?! And I figured it out all by myself!”
“Yes, yes, you’re very smart.”
“It also means that you have had ALL your babies at the same time of year. And you picked the funnest time to do it. Summer rocks!”
“Obviously, you have never been nine months pregnant at the end of August or I gaurantee that would NOT be your assesment.”
“Yeah, but that is still cool we’re all in a bunch like that. You and dad must REALLY like the summer.”
“Actually, it means that your daddy and I REALLY like Autumn.”
(blink, blink, blinkity-blink-blink…)
“Huh? I don’t get it.”
“Have some more brussle sprouts. We’ll talk about it when you’re thirty.”

Ha! I was wondering where that conversation was headed. It was a difficult day indeed when I realised I was probably a Christmas Day-conceived baby. Weirds me right out.

We have gotten pregnant ON our first and second anniversaries. We are no longer having ‘relations’, nor drinking alcohol in the month of July.

Reminds me of when my brother, my sister, and I all figured out why our birthdays are all within a week of eachother- 9 months earlier was our parent’s anniversary. My mom still denies it.

All teachers “celebrate” late autumn. The classes have settled, the report cards are done. And in Canada, there is nothing better to do in October or November. Thus, the birth of many summer babies…that and the fact that we don’t have to count those 2 months as part of our mat leave.
