My mom told me this happened today, November 5, 2026, at the Franklin Square Post Office on Long Island, New York.
A longtime clerk helping her at the counter said she would be retiring next April, on her birthday. A little boy waiting in line with his mom said his birthday was also in April.
The clerk asked him what date.
“The 27th,” the boy said.
“So is mine!” said the clerk.
The boy’s mom said, “Mine too. We share the same birthday.”
Another person standing in line behind them said, “My birthday is also April 27th.”
Another clerk, coming from the back to work the counter, overheard them and said, “My birthday is also April 27th.”
As my mom was leaving, she stopped and turned back to tell them that her birthday was also April 27th. She had been hesitant to say anything at first, thinking they wouldn’t believe her.
SIX people, all with the same birthday. EVERYONE was stunned!
