Fibbing Friday 13th May my response

Today is the only Friday 13^th in 2022, so I thought about changing some superstitions.
Here are my thoughts:

1. How many years bad luck do you get if you break a mirror?
A lot, as you can guarantee it was a family heirloom.
2. What shouldn’t you walk under?
An open window, you never know what might be thrown out and hit you.
3. Why are black cats crossing your path considered unlucky?
If it’s dark, you can’t see them and might fall over them.
4. Why do we ‘knock on wood’?
It’s usually what doors are made from and knocking before entering is polite.
5. Why are horseshoes considered lucky?
Not for the horse, but they make great door stops.
6. Why do we cross our fingers for good luck?
If they are behind your back at the time, you’re telling fibs and won’t get caught!
7. Why is 13 considered an unlucky number?
It’s a prime number, so you know you won’t get that last Rolo as there are 13 in the standard packet.
8. On the other hand, why is 7 considered lucky?
If you add it to 13, you get a score, and in football, to score is always lucky!
9. What is signified by itchy hands?
You’re using the wrong sanitizer.
10. Why should you not put shoes on the table?
Mum gets cross.

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
