And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So that's more than half that were born late September to late December.

November is 9 months after Valentine's Day. It's a popular month to be born in.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

More creative because they were the youngest in their school year?

Or oldest. I missed the cut off, so I was always one of the oldest in my class.

November is 9 months after Valentine's Day.

Yeah. My birthday is Nov. 14. I think I was about 16 when I counted back 9 months and figured it out.

Art Crawl!!!

Chikat! Mine is the 15th - I hadn't realized that our birthdays were so close.

(I'm the oldest in the family and the only one to major in art.)

I was the youngest. I didn't turn 18 until 7 months after I graduated from High School.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too, quester. Except 6 months. That was the worst, being in college and not even able to get into places that were 18+!

That's what I meant. I thought that the cutoff for starting school was still December for most people in their 30s. I don't quite know when they changed that.

It's always varied by place, as far as I know. I have a friend who started young in her class with a February birthday, but got kept back when she switched to private school, because they thought she was too young.

And I have another friend who was my year in college, but almost exactly a year older than me, because where she was, the cutoff was September.

Because books.

The cutoff here is still Dec. 1. So Sara is still four until her birthday on Nov. 29, but she's in kindergarten. Which seems weird to me.

Me, and my next younger sister (11 months younger, Irish twin) were both 4 as well.
