A TEEN has left people scratching their heads by saying her and her sister were both born in 2008 but aren’t twins.
TikTok user @amber_andjade said how she often tells people that there is a small age gap between her and her sibling.
However, when people guess that it’s around two years, she tells them it is even smaller than that.
In a clip on TikTok, she posted: “Jan 2008 and Dec 2008.”;
One person replied to the video asking: “How is that even possible...”;
However, people were quick to explain: “Her mother got pregnant 3 or 2 months after she was born.”;
The social media user said that they are in the same class at school due to their close age.
Others pointed out that she’s an “Irish twin”;, which is a term often given to born less than 12 months apart.
The term Irish twins was initially used as a derogatory term aimed at Irish-Catholics who emigrated to America.
As Catholics do not believe in contraception, Irish families were often large, with children born close together in age.
One person shared: “damn mom didn’t get a chance to relax.”;
Another added: “Your father was so impatient.”;
A third commented: “mom really said ‘wow let’s do that again’.”;

Jemma gave birth to a daughter just 10 months after her son was born.
In the UK, the average age gap between siblings is around two years and two months.
Only a small percentage of pregnancies occur within 12 months of a previous birth.
A US-based study found that about 0.2 per cent of women gave birth twice within the same calendar year.
