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.<\/p>\n<p>Seamus on the other hand was born on February 28th and so it could be argued is technically older than his own dad.<\/p>\n<p>The father remarked: &quot;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.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>James must hate getting into an argument with his son, as the youngster&nbsp;is able to ask him to speak to
