2012 is a leap year, which means that there are 29 days in February instead of the usual 28. The phenomenon, which happens every four years, is necessary to keep our year’s length consistent.
This leap year, we want to hear from the leap day babies, or “leaplings” – those born on February 29. How old are you in leap years? What day do you usually celebrate your birthday? How do you feel about being a leapling?
