Random Birthday Numbers

I like numbers.  So I decided to share some peculiar numbers with you.

So a year has 12 months.

And most months have 30 or 31 days.

You would think, in a family of 10, that we'd have a nice random array of birth days and months.

But you'd be wrong.

In our family...

The first birthday of the calendar year is at the end of May.  So we have NO birthdays in January, February, March, or April.  What are the chances of that?

So, here are our birth months:

1 in May, 1 in June, 2 in August, 1 in October, 2 in November, 3 in December!

Obviously we are heavily stacked towards the end of the year.

And here'e another funny thing.  The earliest birthday in a month is the 10th!  That's Kevin's.  We have...

a 10th, a 13th, a 16th, a 19th, 2 on the 21st of a month, 1 23rd, 1 24th, 1 28th, and 1 31st.

So we have lots of birthdays at the end of the year, and lots of birthdays at the end of the month.

That's just ... odd. :-)
