Friday the 13th

I have often wondered if the curse of Friday the 13th was real. I mean, are people really more unlucky on one day than others?


Well, now I know what kind of bad luck it is:

It is "not realizing you have two different shoes on until 9am and you have to present to a group of 200 HS juniors" kind of bad luck.

I am sure I can pass this off right?!

Superstition:
"Oh, don't you know that you have to wear two different shoes to ward off bad luck on Friday the 13th?"

Denial:
"What? no, they are both black...you should get your eyes checked"

White Lie:
"I hurt myself so I have to wear a certain shoe on my foot to help it heal"

The white lie seems best, especially because I don't have to be specific about which foot is 'hurt'

I think my favorite is the superstition one. Too funny!

Okay, I just turned on my computer and went to your blog and came upon this hilarious story. Thanks for a good laugh. And, I love that you are a self-confident woman who can take all this in stride (pun intended)!!!

One of the 16 year old boys called me out on it and i did use the superstition excuse (verbatim) and he was like "oh...no, i didnt know that." He bought it hook line and sinker, and so did his friends. Whew!
