I was at the hospital waiting for my little cousin to be born. I began talking to another couple. The husband said " My wife just gave birth to 2 babies. They are not twins."

Confused, I said "Huh?".

"Yes" he said, "They were both born today within minutes of each other."

I assumed that they must have been born in different years but he assured me that this was not so. I figured out what the deal is with these babies. Can you?

At first I thought this was a sly reference to the solution of the "I can't operate on my son" puzzle.

But if it meant as a serious possible answer, doctors (or midwives) do not "give birth" to their patients' babies, they "deliver" them.
