Random fact .....
Where does the concept of milestone birthday come from?
We can thank the Romans for a lot of things, roads are just one of their amazing inventions. During the time roads were becoming a thing, the Romans wanted to let travelers know how much distance they’d travelled (from one point to another). So they put up stone obelisks every mile and called them …. milestones! The concept of reaching a milestone was created and then used in everyday language such as birthday milestones.
