When we think of the word «twins», the first image that comes to mind is that of two people born practically at the same time, who share a lot in life, starting with the family, passing through the genetic heritage and the day they celebrate their birthday. . Yet, in the curious case of the two Californian children we are going to tell you about, things are not quite like that.
Would you ever think twins could have birthdays that fall on different days, months and even years? It may sound impossible, but it can happen. The babies in our story, in fact, were born after a few minutes: a minimal but decisive difference means that one is from 2021 and the other of 2022 instead!
At midnight, Natividad welcomed Aylin Yolanda Trujillo as the area's first baby of 2022! Her twin, Alfredo Antonio Trujillo, was born 15 minutes earlier at 11:45 pm Friday, Dec. 31, meaning their birthday falls on a different day, month and year— a 1 in 2 million chance! pic.twitter.com/Lm5hkOpNBo

The curious twin birth took place in California, at the Navidad Medical Center in Salinas. Fatima Madrigal and Robert Trujillo gave birth to a boy and a girl, and we are sure that you have already understood what were the dates of birth of both. The baby, called Aylin Yolanda, was born in the first minutes of January 1, 2022, while her twin brother, Alfredo Antonio, came into the world just 15 minutes earlier, that is, around 11:45 pm on December 31, 2021.
Not only the day, therefore, but also the month and even the year, in the case of these two little ones, are different. According to what was reported by the clinic, announcing the curious birth on Twitter, it is «a chance in 2 million».
«It is really incredible that they are twins and celebrate such different birthdays — was the comment of Fatima, the new mother — we were all surprised and happy for this thing«.
There is no doubt, in fact, that the two children, from birth, already carry with them a rare and memorable characteristic, which made them famous already a few days after their birth. Their story, in fact, immediately made the rounds of the web, capturing the attention and comments of many people. It is almost superfluous to remember that what is created between twins is a very special relationship, and in this case it will be even more so.
Happiness and amazement were also expressed by the hospital’s medical staff. «It is one of the most memorable births of my entire career,» said Dr Ana Abril Arias. Although in the past, similar episodes have already occurred in the world, it is certainly curious and rare that this happens, and we just have to wish all the best to these two Californian twins!
