Nevermind, Dottie. It's kind of a funny story about the birth certificate. My mom was born on the first of the month. The first birth certificate her mom was given had the wrong birthdate written on it. It was listed as the first of the previous month--probably because everyone had a month to get used to writing that.

Anyway, she got a corrected birth certificate but kept the wrong one. When it came time for my mom to go to school, it happened that her birthday was just after the cutoff. Then her mom remembered the incorrect birth certificate. So the one she gave the school was absolutely genuine. Just had the wrong birthdate on it.
