I honestly related to this on many levels because I both deeply care about birthdays and also kinda a little bit don't, and I'm always a) more hurt than I think I should be if someone fails to acknowledge my birthday in the way I wanted in my head but did not express and b) probably insensitive to how other people want their birthdays acknowledged because gift giving is last on my love languages list. ANYWAY, my reaction to this revelation that you and your husband share a birthday is that I must know MORE I must know if that was how you met (at a convention for people with that birthday? while having parallel parties at the same place?) or truly just a wild coincidence or what!

Bless you for being curious about our shared birthday origin story!!! He lived above the bar where I used to bartend and one day (since I'm menace socially) I was like "let's talk about which celebrities share your birthday" and he was like "I have no idea which celebrities share my birthday" so I demanded to know the date in case I had some rogue celeb bdays rolling around in my head but it was MY BIRTHDAY TOO so I was like "Macaulay Culkin!!!!!" A big relief for him I think to finally know. <3
