Can You Feel The Love Tonight?

February 11, 2007 By Jenny Ryan 5 Comments

Yesterday after the wedding we all went back to the hotel to change clothes before heading over to a post-wedding party at my aunt and uncle’s house. As we were waiting for our group to gather in the lobby we started talking about some of the cousins who weren’t able to attend the wedding, and my 13-year-old cousin asked how much older they are than she is.

“Oh, I know,” I said, and then proceeded to list off the birth years of the cousins in question. “I know when everyone was born. [First cousin] was 1971, then me in 1972,…” and then continued through cousin #12 who was born in 2001.”

“Hm,” replied my aunt. I thought at first that she was impressed by my vast repository of family knowledge until she turned to my husband and asked, “So, what’s it like being married to Monk?”

    OMG!!!! That’s too funny! But you know, I’d be able to do that too. I remember birthdays of people and also uncannily, what they were wearing when I first meet thing.

    That’s pretty funny. I can almost picture the look of “oh please” on your face.

    You’re not alone. I too have the ability to remember certain dates and well, mostly to do with numbers.
