Happy Birthday To Us

Every once in a while you find yourself in a situation with so many conincidences that it makes your head spin.

On my 18th birthday, I was working at the grocery store when a grandmother, her daughter, and her grand daughter pulled into the lane behind me. The kid was cute so I turned to smile at her and one of the women called her "Catherine."

Me: Hey, her name is Catherine? Mine too.
Mother: Yep! And she's 2 today!
Me: Weird! It's MY birthday, too! I'm 18 today.
*the two women laugh*
Mother: She was named for her grandmother *gestures towards older woman* because they were born on the same day, so it's her birthday too.

So there we were, 3 Catherines, all born on the same day, together ON our birthday just by chance.

If that don't beat all...
