1. When you tell someone your birthday and they start laughing.

2. When your friends are happy because they only give you gifts once in four years.

3. When people won’t stop making jokes about how ‘young’ you are.

4. When your one-in-four-years birthday falls on a Monday.

5. When people think you’re lying when you tell them you were born on leap year.

6. When you realize that after today, you actually have no birthday for another four years.

7. So you try to cram many activities into the one day.

8. And then you just think, this is all your parents’ fault.

9. And when your birthday is finally over, you have to wait forever for your next real birthday.
