So last night I helped throw a baby shower for a good friend of mine. It was a great time...a really fun night. Until one of the guests did that whole "put a ring on a chain and hold it over your hand to see how many kids and what
genders you will have" thing. If it moves back and forth, it means boy and if it moves in a circle, it means girl. It will keep doing that until it accounts for all the kids you will have and then it stops. All the women that already
had kids had her do it to them and it was spot on...it would either circle or swing back and forth for each child in order and then it would stop after all children had been accounted for. Other women that didn't have children yet had her do
it and it would do its thing, predicting what they would have. So I go up and say "let's see if this thing will tell me that I won't have kids!", half joking. Well.....it stayed dead still and NEVER moved. :( I was the only one it
didn't move for. Now I know all this is silly and it's an old wives tale but it really hit me since I was the only one that had this happen...and it was in front of like 15 women. When I left the shower, I had a mini breakdown in the car
on the way home. Stupid, I know...I shouldn't put faith in those things. But it still made me sad! :( LAME!!
