00:00 Hello, my name's Zoe. I'm two and I'm from Wigan. I'm two because I'm a leap year. I was born on the 28th of February and I only get a real birthday every four years.
00:15 It makes me feel really, really happy because I get my birthday a day earlier.
00:21 What do you say when people ask you how old you are?
00:24 I just freeze and think because I don't know if I'm in leap years or in normal years because in normal years I'm eight but in leap years I'm ten!
