Thank you for making that...Linda, I love to laugh. Thank you for making that possible for me so often!!<br /><br />So I'm a Sunday's child - and I strive to be everything but the gay (no offense intended, it's just not who I am). <br /><br />Of my three boys I have a Sunday's child, a Friday's child and a Wednesday's child. I have to confess that I'd heard this poem and really, really hoped I wouldn't have a Wednesday baby. Isn't that silly? So when my littlest was born on Wed. (the 13th no less) I just had to tell myself to LET. IT. GO. He's the happiest boy. And he loves, loves to take sips of his daddy's coffee in the mornings. So I'm going to go with "Wednesday's child is full of joe"<br /><br />:)demeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750466778454023591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051602384535005789.post-43656540299410760152010-09-23T12:04:19.675-04:002010-09-23T12:04:19.675-04:00"Wed's child is full of a tasty nougat ce..."Wed's child is full of a tasty nougat center." ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552074033087804381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051602384535005789.post-67519635756918249652010-09-22T18:23:26.806-04:002010-09-22T18:23:26.806-04:00Sierra -- LOL!

As in "check my flow, yo." And I was all, is Linda attempting to claim being a badass again?<br /><br />But I am a Thursday child, like Abby, and I was also premature, also like Abby. But only by a month, though I did make a solid attempt at being a two months preemie. But I've always chosen to interpret "far to go" as getting as many trips to whatever faraway places I want. But then again, I was born in Florida, moved to New York, and then settled in California, so I clearly don't like going particularly short distances.Elizabeth Ryannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706539983177924875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051602384535005789.post-48142674052177777272010-09-22T11:20:22.055-04:002010-09-22T11:20:22.055-04:00Yeah, I know this poem well, and I also thought it...Yeah, I know this poem well, and I also thought it wasn't very fair.<br /><br />Though I was a Saturday child, so I'm loving and giving.

Grace could mean not slipping off the end of a diving board and doing a belly flop. Grace could mean not forgetting the blessing at the Thanksgiving table. Stubborn. Do I detect a bit of stubborn in you? One thing definite, you can't be a Wednesday's Child unless Woe Nelly was misspelled.
