Friday, the thirteenth!


It's Friday the thirteenth. For most people, it's just another day. However, there are others that feel when Friday falls on the 13th day of a month, it is best to be on guard, because it may be a day for bad luck. This is called a 'superstition'- an idea or belief that has no basis in fact.

There are many, many superstitions that have been passed on through the years from one generation to the next. Have you heard of these:

* a rabbit's foot brings good luck

* at the end of a rainbow is a pot of gold

* if you blow out all your birthday cake candles in one breath, your wish will be granted


Think of a superstition that you have heard, and post it in the comment section.
