12.12.12




Today is a unique day.  The past twelve years have each had one month where the date was the same number for the month, day, and year.  (01.01.01; 02.02.02; 03.03.03; ...)  I asked the kids "when will be the next time a year does that?"  Wow, not for 88 years and 19 days.  The next questions we wanted to answer was how old would each of us be and is it possible we'd be around for it.  Jodie - I won't be around; I'd be 130 years old.  Micah - Might be around; he'd be 97 years old.  Lilly - might be around; she'd be 93 years old.  They thought it was neat that they've both experienced a 'unique date' for each year of their lives so far.  Then Micah said "We'll still have cool dates.  Next year there's an 11/12/13."
