No Leap Year


Today is the last day of February. Next year will be a leap year, and we will have February 29, 2012. Long ago, in 1288, it was voted that on "Leap Day" women could propose marriage to men. That was the only day a woman could ask a man to get married.
3 questions???

1. How do you think February 29th birthdays should be celebrated? How old would you be today if you were born in leap year? Do you think women should ask men to marry?

I think that they should be celebrated like any other birthday. I dont know how old you would be but I am guessing you would be young. I think it is fine that women can propose to men on that day.

--Feburary birthdays are probably celebrated the day after the 28th if there isn't a 29th that year.
--If you were born on a leap year then I dont know.
--No, I don't think woman should ask men to marry. That's sort of weird.

I think they should celebrate it on the 28th.

I think people born on February 29th should only be able to celebrate their birthday on the 29th. Sorry fifteen-year-olds, you're only four. Act your age. I don't care about the last one. doesn't apply to me, never will.

Birthdays on febrauray 29th's should just have their birthday on feb. 28 AND march 1. I dont know how old i would be:P I dont think "woman" should ask the guy to marry her because i think it would be awkward if he says no, but if the lady and no, she would say to wait a while but the guy wouldnt i bet.

I think birthdays would be celebrated very special. I think I would be 13 years old. No, I don't think that women should aslmen to marry because the man might feel like he's being over powered by the women. That's why men might ask women to marry them besides all that other stuff.

February 29th birthdays should be celebrated for three days from the 28th of Frebruary to the first of March. If I was born on a leap year I would probably be Three and a half years old. I dont think women should propose to men because it would look strange and people would be prejudice of them.

I don't know how we should celebrate it, I say it's fine the way it is. I wouldn be 3 1/2 if i was born on leap year. NO I don't think women should ask men to marry because it would be waird and the man should step up to ask the women to marry him.

I think birthdays that are on the 29th of Febuary should still have their birthdays but just the day before.I would be 13 years old.I do think that women should ask men to marry because whats the difference if you love someone ask them.It doesn't matter.

1. How do you think February 29th birthdays should be celebrated? How old would you be today if you were born in leap year? Do you think women should ask men to marry? 1. I think Febuary, 29th birthdays should be treated very specialy. I think they should like get anything they want. 2. If I was born on a leap year I would be 14. Then on December, 3rd of this year I would be 15. 3. That's interesting. I would find it akward if I was the one being proposed to instead of me proposing. But yeah I think it's fine for women to ask men.
