Yeah, right. As they say around here! My grandmother had two birthdays, because her father got it wrong when he registered her birth. So there was the date on her birth certificate, and the date that the entire family knew to be correct. Two consecutive days, so not much harm done. It might have even been worse than it appears - the original record shows that the wrong month was written down before being corrected!
