The Shosted family in Utah have commissioned presidential greetings for all of their four children. Most recently, for their son Benjamin who turns one next week.
But this time, the Shosteds received a birthday greeting for a 101-year-old.
Was it a typo? Or is there a centenarian out there named Benjamin Shosted who received a baby birth greeting?
The family can’t be sure, but are taking the error in stride, joking that their son could just be the real life Benjamin Button.
