TWINS GIVE BIRTH AT EXACT SAME TIME, SORT OF, IN DIFFERENT CITIES

Twin sisters Sarah Mariuz and Leah Rodgers, who are 35, each gave birth to their first child early Thursday. The babies were born at the same exact time in each sister’s respective time zone – Rodgers gave birth first, welcoming a baby boy at 1:18 a.m., in Denver, Colorado, and Mariuz’s daughter was born at 1:18 a.m., in La Jolla, California. “We’ve always lived in separate places, but all of us – we have two sisters – are very close in age and very close,” Rodgers said. “But certainly there’s another connection at the twin level.” The sisters learned they were pregnant last year around the same time and planned to tell each other on Thanksgiving, which they were celebrating together. But as soon as Rodgers saw her sister, she already knew. “She showed up to my front door and I welcomed her and I had this crazy twin intuition – I call it my ‘twintuition’ — and I knew she was pregnant, too.” They discovered their due dates were only four days apart. Sarah Mariuz gave birth to a baby girl, and Leah Rodgers gave birth to a boy.
* When she said she calls it her twintuition her sister said, “That’s weird! That’s what I call it!”
* Sorry, but this would be a lot trippier if it was the same moment.
* So you’re saying intuition runs on daylight savings time?
* How did the babies know what time it was?
* “Certainly there’s another connection at the twin level.” Except for the billions of times when this DOESN’T happen.
* Of course, if you’re a conspiracy nut, your intuition runs on the Mayan calendar.
* Now the real shocker: Both babies have the same father.
