When my mother became pregnante with me, the doctors dated me for mid December. But Grandma knew they were wrong.

"You're having that baby on my birthday."

Everyone though she was nuts. But my due date came and went. (An Aquarius can never arrive when expected)

At grandmothers birthday party- in a room crowded with people- she raised her wine glass in the air and said :

"Here is a toast to my first born grandchild, who is in the hospital being born right now on my birthday."

Everyone exchanged worried glances- had my eccentric grandmother finally gone off the deep?

Fifteen minutes later the telephone rings.

My Aunt always likes to tell this part of the story adding "And I was the one who answered the phone!" She announced to the room "Jennifer's in the Hospital! And she's having the baby!"

Total pandemonium broke out with everyone jumping up and down.

Grandma shook her head and said "I don't know why everyones acting surprised. Didn't I tell you so?"

She has psychic flashes and OBE's. And she always seems to know what I'm up to. She's pulled me aside and told me things like "I know about how your leave your body. I do the same thing." She has hinted that she knows more.

I know this will sound crazy but I swear it's true- we share more than a birth day, we also share a birth mark.

Both my grandmother and I were born with a mole on our cheek in the same place. Of course, she told everyone about it before I was born. "She'll have my mark."

She sounds spooky but she really isn't. She's basically a very gentle, soft, feminine personality.

My grandmother is the Matriarch of the family, her children all live within a mile of her house, and rarely will anyone oppose her will. She has a way of getting people to do what she wants without being bossy or commanding.

I was at a night club when I noticed a man watching me, he'd be to my left, and then to my right, and then looking down at me from the balcony. Watching.

The song "hungry like the wolf" came on and decided I'd really give him a show. I danced as sultry as I knew how.

So I'm in the parking lot when he ambushes me, throws me over his shoulder and shoves me into his car. I was in a state of shock when he peeled out at 90 miles an hour and then spun the car 180 degrees.

Cranking his seat back he lit up a cigarette and eyed me cooly. "Now that I have your attention, I thought you and I could get to know one other."

He took me out to breakfast- we were inseperable- practically glued to one another the rest of the night. "I can't believe the way you trust me" he said, to which I replied "I know you, I just know you."

I asked him how old he was.

"I just had my birthday January 24th."
"Who told you my birthday?"
"Your birthday is January 24th too?"
"Yes!"
"No way!"
"Yes it is!"

We both whipped out our drivers license to compair. Sure enough it was true.
