Fibbing Friday 13th January

Posted on January 13, 2023 by pensitivity101

Hello and welcome to Fibbing Friday, a fun challenge where truth is not an option.
I’m inviting you to be outrageous, silly, cheeky, or whatever takes your fancy (as long as you keep it family friendly) and fib your socks off when answering the ten questions set below.
You can join in by writing a post with your answers and tag it “Fibbing Friday” or #FibbingFriday.
If you use WordPress, pingbacks are enabled, and as long as you link to this post, it should show up.
Bear in mind though that they are usually approved manually, so don’t be surprised if the link doesn’t show immediately as I may be late accessing my blog.
You can also leave a link to your post in the comments so that others can enjoy your answers and may like to join in as well! Also have a read of other bloggers posts if you can spare the time as some of them are terrific.

It’s Friday the 13th so this week’s selection is based on superstitions.

Make up your own reasons for these please:

1. Why were people given middle names?
2. Why do we cover our mouths when we yawn?
3. Why do we say ‘Bless You’ when somebody sneezes?
4. Why do we wear a wedding ring on the third finger of the left hand?
5. What was the original use of wind chimes?
6. What were the original purpose of bridesmaids?
7. What is the significance of the first butterfly of the year you see being white?
8. What does it mean if your right ear itches?
9. Why is Good Friday a good day to cut your hair?
10. What should you give a friend who gives you a knife as a gift?

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.
