Birthdays

So last night I was talking to a friend and mentioned that another friend we have in common is having a birthday tomorrow. So she says "oh really, so and so's birthday is June 19th." Why is this weird habit engrained in everyone's brain. I'm guilty of this myself. Any time that someone is discussing birth dates, the person they are telling is compelled to say who they know with the same birth date or any other birthday that month. How did this happen in our evolution and why don't we have control over it? Can anyone explain this to me?

Yeah, my birthday is tomorrow.

No way! My sister's birthday is Friday.

So weird.
