This is a cool story.  Seriously, what are the odds?

Story Link



Young newly weds Alex and Donna Voutsinas were looking through some of Donna's old photos from when she was a child and came across one of her at Disney World. Nothing too unusual about this, you may say.

Donna is at the front of the photo, see above, with one of the Disney characters and then Alex spotted something - his dad!

Yes, it's his dad in the background of the photo pushing a stroller (pushchair) and, of course, in the stroller is Alex.

A remarkable coincidence because the families didn't know each other back then and, to make it even more remarkable, at the time of the photo Alex lived in Canada and Donna in Florida.

It looks like their lives touched upon each other when they were young ready for the big romance in later years. Fate? Kismet? Who knows.

Back in college, a guy down the hall comes running into my room. His best friend was my room-mate. (Both were idiots).

This dude is waving a picture of his best friend. I'm standing in the background of the picture.

Weird.

Had a girlfriend in high school our house keys worked in each other's front doors - not the same builder/development.

A buddy of mine said the his mother and his wife's mother were sitting at a family gathering talking about labor and delivery.  As they compared tales... same hospital...same nurse...same doctor... wait our kids have the same birth date, holy moly!  

Yup, he and his wife had been delivered on the same day, same hospital, same doctor, and had slept in the same nursery.  As I recall the story, the discovery was made 20+ years after they had been born.
