How was it that the second-born twin was actually born earlier than the first-born?
Peter Sullivan Cirioli was dubbed “Baby A” at WakeMed Cary when he arrived early Sunday morning.
“Yes, Peter was born first, it was at 1:32 a.m.,” mother Laura Cirioli said.
Thirty-four minutes later, Peter’s twin sister, Allison Raye Cirioli, known as “Baby B,” made her entrance into the world.
Because of Daylight Saving Time, Allison’s time of birth was 1:06 a.m., which makes her 26 minutes older than her brother even though he was born first.
Yes, still more proof that DST is against the natural order of things …

Well, there’s also the possibility of being born on a vehicle that crosses time zone lines.
Really, though, all they have to do is record the times in UTC, and this whole problem would be avoided! 😉
I can’t believe a reporter went to the hospital to cover this. Stupid, really.
Well, no more so than the “First Baby Born in the New Year” kind of story.
