His grandmother, if born on 29 February 1920, is 101 years old.
If born on 29 February 1924, she is 97 years old.
Based on his grandmother’s supposed Leap Year Birth in 1920 and calculating ONLY Leap Year Birthdays, Leo’s grandmother is 26, not 25.
Leo’s math is off and I suspect it’s because he mistakenly believes that 2000 was NOT a leap year, just as 1700, 1800, 1900 were not leap years.
The up side is, if one lives 100 years (whether leap or ordinary), the additional odd year itself is nothing to brag about. I’m sure, like everyone else, Leo’s special; however, I hope his being special isn’t a product of his being an April Fool.
Time is relative. If you are bored, it seems longer. And yet when you are older, it seems to pass faster, even though there is a lot of boredom. When you retire, time really speeds by. And yet, the days are slow. Like being a preschooler again. It’s kind of sad the way schedules, calendars and clocks rule our lives in the in between years. Maybe that’s what the garden of eden was for prehistoric humans—not much time. But they still had some. Gestation, growing seasons, etc.

My father was an April Fools Day BD as well, in 1907

My late (fortunately) MIL was a Leap Day baby, but I don’t know (and don’t care) what year.

For someone born on February 29, 25-birthdays-old is not 25-years-old.
