Remember this Mother Goose rhyme?
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace;
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go;
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living;
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
Mike and I really loved it after Maggie was born because she's a Sunday's child, and I had to admit that I was a bit stupidly anxious when I went into labor with Kate on a Tuesday that she'd end up a Wednesday's child: full of woe. Over the weekend we somehow got to talking about it and started looking up our birth days. Very strangely, almost all of us were Thursdays except for Amy (Monday), Maggie, and Kate! We also decided to interpret "has far to go" as meaning that we all have lots of adventures ahead of us instead of that our lives are one long slog! Luckily, we never did uncover any Wednesday's children.
Anyway, curious? What day are you? Anybody full of woe?

Yeah that would be me. I was born on a Wednesday. John was born on a Sunday. Noah was born on a Tuesday. I'm not full of woe. I think that this rhyme lies! Lies I tell you!
ReplyDeleteOh no, poor Val! We'll just have to say that you're full of Whoa instead. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I like that! I think I am definitely full of Whoa!
