If my father, my son and I survive 4 more years, I will call
my son someday to tell him that in that exact day: I've become 3 times
older than him, and his grandfather (85) has become 5 times older than
him!
I will also phone my father in that exact date, to remind him of those
facts, and neither my father nor my son will be surprised that I call
them to talk about ages; both will think I called them to wish them
a happy birthday. They will also take the opportunity to wish me
a happy birthday too :)

By the way, my father didn't do any special planning about my mother's
pregnancy with me, and I didn't do any planning about my wife's
pregnancy either. It was all pure coincidence.
