Birth Certificate Blues—Again
When I was about 6 years old, I was admitted into elementary school because I can reach my left ear using my right hand over my head. 
Seriously though, the school agreed to let me in as long as I was turning 7 the same year. Thing is, I was only 5 years old turning 6. So my mother had a plan, since my birth certificate was old, and the school only required a xerox copy, she went ahead and had it photocopied, and when the copy wasn’t too clear, she would type the letters in and well, 1984 magically turned into 1983.
