Platinum Birthday

 


Last week I celebrated my birthday and my wife informed me that I was turning 63 years old and I was born in 1963.  She said there should be some kind of special name for this type of birthday, since it is so rare.  In recent years we have heard about folks, mostly children, celebrating their Golden Birthdays.  Golden Birthdays are when you are the same age as the day of the month that you were born, so for example, if you were born on the 17th day of May and you are turning 17, then that is your Golden Birthday.  Well, my Golden Birthday was in 1975 and we didn't celebrate Golden Birthdays back then, at least not where I lived, but now it seems to be a fairly common thing.  Well, we decided to check with ChatGPT and we were informed that when you are the same age as the year that you were born, that is called a Platinum Birthday.  Well, there you have it!
