FAQ #23: How Old Are You Guys?
Updated on June 29, 2006
Alex and I were born very young for our age on October 28, 1988. If you do the math that means we are 17 years, 8 months, and 2 days old.
What many people do not know is that twins measure their real age cumulatively, not separately. Measured that way we are actually 35 years, 4 months, and 4 days old! Just kidding. We’re really 17.
Historically speaking we are 5 years older than David Farrugut, the U.S. Navy’s first admiral, when he was given command of his first ship. We are a year older than George Washington, our nation’s first president, when he was named official surveyor for Culpepper County, Virginia, and started earning $100,000 per year (in modern purchasing power).
Though Alex and I have done neither of those things, our faithful readership should expect that we are striving to glorify God in our own lives and would love for others to join in the fight.
In Christ, Alex & Brett Harris
