A Twin Is Born 31 Minutes Before His Brother . . . But Is Younger Because of the Time Change?

Here’s one of those weird things that can only happen the night that we change the clocks back . . .

A woman named Emily Peterson from West Barnstable, Massachusetts gave birth to twins early last Sunday.  The first baby was born at 1:39 A.M.  Then at 2:00 A.M. the clocks were set back.  And 10 minutes later, the second baby came out.

But because of the time change, HIS time of birth was 1:10 A.M.  So even though he was born 31 minutes later than his brother, officially he’s 29 minutes older.  (CBS 4 – Boston)
