That headline got me too. All kinds of things were going through my head before I clicked on the link. I think it was a pretty tacky headline.

luvbug00 replied: maybe they ment 60? a typeo or a joke?? that can't be real! can it?

Kaitlin'smom replied: thats not even funny

MommyToAshley replied:
It's a person that is 6 because of leapyear (which means technically she would be 24 if her birthday fell on any day other than leap year).

luvbug00 replied: ahhhhh, yeahhh I'm slow..

sparkys2boys replied: Really makes you stop for a second.. what a sick way to do a headline

A&A'smommy replied: um yeah that kinda ticked me off

luvmykids replied: LOL......I was thinking "How is that even possible?"

I agree, not exactly my style of funny.

MommyToAshley replied:
That is bizarre, and sad. However, I'm glad the little girl got help, although it sounds like it was offered more out of scientific interest than anything else.

I was just going to say that....Mckaylee and Russell found a book in our old house that was left by the previous tennants....they are some kind of science books and it was in there...

mckayleesmom replied: I think in that book the kids had it was said that they believed that the baby was fathered by an uncle or something that had stayed at the house around that time.

MoonMama replied: What were they thinking with that headline!

Calimama replied:
Sicko!!

HuskerMom replied: My first thought after reading the headline was yeah right. But I wonder how rare it is for a person who is a leap year baby to give birth to a leap year baby.

luvmykids replied:
I have a friend who is a leap year baby, and so is his mom. And his son missed it by one day

3xsthefun replied: They could have done a better job on the headline.

I have a aunt that was born on leap year. But she doesn't have any kids.

lisar replied:
thats what I was thinking

My2Beauties replied: Yeah bad headline choice...but definitely catches your attention

Mommy2BAK replied: omg I am so glad I decided to go ahead and read the post because I was just going to pass since the thought was so sickening to me. I'm soo glad it wasn't what I thought it was.
