Sally's older brother
$begingroup$
Sally smiles at her older brother and says, "Happy 30th birthday!"
He shakes his head and replies, "I'm not 30 yet, but you are!"
How is this possible?

They are
twins, and the brother was born earlier than Sally on the same day.
They are located on different time zones, either talking via video call or simply standing on different sides of a border between two time zones.
It is already their birthday on Sally's time zone, but not yet on the brother's time zone.

Sally's older brother has evidently been travelling in two distinct inertial reference frames.

Maybe
he was born on Feb 29th, Leap Day and so has had about 1/4 the number of birthday's you would expect he's had.
Or if we want to be more legal...
They are twins born on Feb 29th (he was born first) and this is a non-leap year and Feb 28th. He is somewhere that considers March 1 as his official birthday (UK for example) and she is somewhere that considers Feb 28th as her official birthday (New Zealand or Taiwan, for example)

the answer is:
Sally has two brothers
a younger brother who is 26 and an older brother who is 28.
Sally says: “Hi, have you met my two kid brothers? Let me introduce my younger brother Adam and my older brother Brian”. She smiles at her older brother.

Try mine
Sally and her older brother are actually twins, their mother were in a cruise while labouring those two, the older brother came out first while in the 1st of March side of the Pacific Ocean, while she was born in the 28th February side of the ocean. I found the answer here.
