(whooops) my paternal grandmother, on the other hand, doesn't even pretend and firmly "fibbed" a bit on her driver's license, immigration papers so she is actually several years older than her papers say she is. i like that, it's better...more direct. how weird!! i was firmly born on june 21. the only person in my family who follows the lunar calendar year is my maternal grandmother, so we never know when her birthday is each year til she calls us and tells us it’s her birthday.

Why am I certain of this? Because I have met at least a dozen other Korea-born girls all born on Oct. 20 1975. It's too many to be a coincidence. I have never met a non-Korean person (male or female) with the same birthdate. My mother swears up and down that I was born on Oct. 20th but I'm not convinced. Koreans do stuff like this all the time. I’m fairly certain that my actual birthday is not the one on my birth certificate. Why am I certain of this?
