In the U.S., any American citizen can receive a presidential greeting if they are celebrating a birthday beyond 80, retiring after serving 20 years or getting married. You can also receive one for the birth of a baby within a year of its birth.

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.
