Greetings, leaplings, Feb. 29 is your day
“It took me some time to figure it out, but there was another boy on the same street who was also born on Feb. 29. “Then when we learned Henri Richard was like us, too, it was really special. This isn’t something that happens to everyone, every day.”
Thanks to the quadrennial quirks of the Gregorian calendar, 21,400 Canadians will celebrate their true birthdays today, as the leap year tacks on an extra day to the month of February. via Canada.com
