Old Wives Tales CONTINUED...
~My personal replies to these tales are offered to break the inspoken uneasy and negative connotations that accompany these tales from old Wives~
FRIDAY 13TH
I was born on Friday the 13th! Look how awesome I am! No bad luck in this!
UMBRELLAS
Opening an umbrella inside is only bad luck if you are standing near your grandma's curio cabinet. Its good luck when the roof is leaking !
LADDERS
Bummer for you if walking under a ladder that is occupied by a clumsy painter!
RABBITS FOOT
Why not carry any body part of a taxidermied animal? Kangaroo foot? Pockets not big enough?
SNEEZING
Not saying "God bless you" to a person after they sneeze is like leaving a high 5 hanging, quietly uncomfotable! Do we really only want God's belssing the few times during our lives when we sneeze? What if one has no ability to sneeze?
BREAKING A MIRROR
When a mirror is broken by me or another person in my presence, I declare 7 minutes bad luck is all that is allowed!
