I was born in NE India on Nov 21, 1962. On that day the Chinese withdrew their attack on that part of India (Assam). I would like to take credit for that but I was just born

The day I was born my mother let out a yell. Since then she hasn't stopped yelling (at me).

Just kidding mom, I love you, really, even the day I cut windows in the curtains...

A valentine day.

Birthdays are good for longevity. The more you have, the longer you live
