Old Superstitions

There's a million of them.

A broom falling means company. --That makes me glad my broom is always laying on the floor instead of being propped up like it should be.

Dropping a rag means a slouch is coming. --If I drop a rag I will do my damnedest to catch that thing in mid-air before it hits the ground. and if it does hit the ground, I slightly freak out in my mind. Then I trot off to the bathroom to put on a bra and some mascara so I don't have that 'just woke up look' that has recently become my signature appearance.

Back to my point.. There's been several times that have I dropped random things and wondered what the superstitious world will have in store for that day. Just last night I dropped my panties then mentally freaked again thinking "OMG I'm gonna get pregnant!"

All the salt ones.. Spilling it, sprinkling it on doorways, passing it across a table. I may skimp on passing it across the table but in my mind, I'm thinking about it.

And I count crows..

One for sorrow-

Two for joy-

Three for a girl-

Four for a boy-

Five for silver-

Six for gold lost-

Seven for secret never told.

There's like a gozillion different ways that can be said. Sorrow,mirth,wedding, birth, etc.. I think I always see only one crow and nearly break my neck turning around to look for another.

There's a black cat crossing my path.. I've gotten used to that. It's just Black Betty or one of her offspring sniffing around for food. Salt, Betty?

 

Dora's on! Gotta go!
