Are you superstitious?
Friday the 13th is just another day for me, except I don’t take any big risks that day or leave my house or use any sharp tools. I don’t speak ill of the dead because they might be watching. I never pick up a penny with tails up and I pray before the plane takes off. If a mirror breaks, it wasn’t me. It’s a good sign when I see a hawk in my tree and I feel a lot better since the Cub’s Billy Goat Curse was lifted. Other than that, I have no superstitions.
What’s interesting about the picking up of pennies is it used to be “See a pin and pick it up…” as in a sewing pin, because they were valuable. Then they became commonplace and it morphed into pennies because — money. Then it morphed into pennies with the heads up. I just found it kind of intriguing how that changed over the years.
