It’s a scene (almost) straight from the book of Genesis, but with a few notable exceptions:
The mother’s name is Penelope, not Sarah. Her husband is Alfred, not Abraham.
And instead of baby Isaac, there’s Allie, Benjamin and Wyatt.
After 69 years of marriage, Penelope and Alfred Cruz have stunned family, friends and the larger medical community by announcing the birth of a daughter and two sons. They were born by Caesarean section just after midnight Friday at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
“We’re absolutely thrilled!” said Penelope. “And maybe a little stunned, too,” admitted Alfred.
The arrival of the Cruz triplets to parents of such advanced age shatters previous records. According to Guinness World Records, Maria del Carmen Bousada Lara of Spain, 66, was previously the oldest woman to give birth. Sons Christian and Pau arrived in December of 2006.
“We’ve been deeply burdened by the declining birth rate in both America and around the world,” said Penelope. “All this talk about overpopulation is utter nonsense. We wanted to do our part.”

I have to admit this is funny...even for an April Fools Day.
Born on April Fools Day...Figures, don’t it???????
Had me going, but the last few lines, especially the very last line, clinched it.
Funny April Fools story!
“Congratulations! Tremendous news. Babies are terrific. I’ve never met an ugly baby. Some were close, but never ugly...”
It’s April Fool’s Day plus our 39th wedding anniversary.
““I still have to scrape the lead paint and put on a fresh coat for the nursery” he said. “But my lumbago is killing me! At least the kid’s birthdays are April 1st – that will be easy to remember as I get up there in age.”
Better get that lead paint removed- don’t want your kids growing up to be democrats
And Bill Clinton is the father
Already doomed as regards being Democrats. But till a darned good yarn for April Fool’s day.
“We’ve been deeply burdened by the declining birth rate in both America and around the world,” said Penelope. “All this talk about overpopulation is utter nonsense. We wanted to do our part.”
Lol.thay sounds like,the writing of the Babylon bee
For a moment, I forgot what day it is.
What are those folks going to do with three Aries kids, all the same age, as they go into their golden years???!!!
4-1. Gonna be a tough day for CNN.
Sheesh..... I’d be more concerned about some bureaucrat in Cali trying to take the kids away due to the parents age.
Or better. 🙂
I don’t believe this story.
Congratulations! Here’s to many more!🏆🎉
You mean this is an April Fools joke? DAMN, I wanted to know what he’s taking…
