In the USA, a man and his son were both born on February 29

A rare event happened in the American state of Iowa: a man born on February 29 became a father on the same date.

Father Dillon Glass was born on February 29 back in 1996. Now his son was born with the same date of birth, write in the clinic Unity Point Health.

Both Americans grabbed one chance in 1.5 thousand, The Guardian reports.

“I’m just starting to realize everything. It’s cool, it’s amazing.” – the young father told journalists.

The clinic says little Archer and his mother are doing well. They should be at home on the weekend.

We will remind you that every four years in the Gregorian calendar, which is used by most countries of the world, a leap (or additional) day appears.

The existence of such a date led to the appearance of various traditions. For example, someone celebrates their birthday once every 4 years, when it is a leap year.

And those who turn 60 on an “extra” day often joke that this is their “sweet 16.”
