So, you know that “mom brain” phenomenon? Well, it’s hit a new peak with a mom named Sarah Thompson, who recently found out she’s been celebrating her son’s birthday on the wrong day for nearly four years! With four kids all under five, it’s easy to see how this could happen, right?
In a TikTok that has since gone viral with over 3 million views, Sarah shared the hilarious story of how she discovered the mix-up. It all began when her doctor’s office called her about a discrepancy regarding her son Jake’s birthday—she had it down as March 15, 2018, but the insurance company had a different date. “I’m his mom; I know his birthday!” Sarah exclaimed to the staff, ready to call out the insurance company.
Before making that call, Sarah decided to scroll through her Facebook to check the birth announcement. To her shock, she found that Jake was actually born on March 14, not the 15th! She even shared the old social media posts celebrating Jake’s birthday on the wrong date, along with the official birth announcement that showed the correct one.
“And you know what’s the funniest part?” she laughed. “He’s the middle child!” With four little ones, it’s understandable how this could slip past her, right? A big shoutout to all the moms out there navigating the chaos of raising kids!
