Scandal: Stork bribes Santa to provide stimulating gifts to young couples

When I was pregnant with Zach was the first time I noticed this phenomenon. There are a lot of birthdays in September. It turned out that it wasn't just likely he would be born on someone in our families birthday but more than likely more than one of their birthdays.

For instance
9/11 two aunts
9/14 my sister in law
9/16 my husbands great aunt and great uncle (married, on that day too, isn't it sweet.)
9/17 an aunt, uncle and friend
9/18 two cousins
9/21 grandmother and friend.

There are more, that I am forgetting I am sure. In fact every year when having his birthday, there are sure to be conflicts with someone else's party usually not even on this list.

Why are there so many birthdays during this week in September. It all made sense once I realized this one little fact... Conception date for 9/17 (Z's birthday) 12/25. Before that, I had never realized that Santa and the Stork were in business together.

That's funny! I swear most people I know are born at the end of April. All the parents were hot and horny in the summer probably due to lack of clothing in the heat---who knows! HA

I'm too tired to be doing that kind of stuff on Christmas.

Hee hee, my son's birthday is in September and I can confirm that Christmas feeling sure had something to do with his conception!
