Son turns 11 the day before his dad

Sometimes parents are not much older than their children, which can bring about a number of problems.

However, James and Seamus Clarke are fairly unique, as the latter is turning 11 a day before his father does.

Confused? Well, James' birthday is February 29th, which makes him a leap year baby and so although he has been alive for 44 years, it will only be the 11th time has been able to celebrate his birthday.

Seamus on the other hand was born on February 28th and so it could be argued is technically older than his own dad.

The father remarked: "Seamus finds it hilarious that he will turn 11 before me. He's been telling all of his friends at school and they have a good laugh."

James must hate getting into an argument with his son, as the youngster is able to ask him to speak to his elder with respect.
