Today is April 8. If you express it numerically, it’s 4/8 (or 8/4, in some parts of Europe).
My sister Joan was born on this day in in 1964. Which means that she was born on 4/8/64.
Even better, she was born at 4:44 in the morning. And that’s the time written on her birth certificate.
I called Joan this morning to wish her a happy birthday. This is, after all, a special date, since today is 4/8/16. How cool is that?
