Beware of Dandelions!

Handy tips to survive this day:

You probably should avoid stepping on that crack, lest you break your mother’s back. And if you must open your umbrella in the house, turn clockwise seven times while doing so. Grab the garlic first if you feel the urge to rock an empty rocking chair. And as you reach down to capture that four-leaf clover don’t be alarmed as the black kitty crosses your path to get a closer look at you. Hook that horseshoe on your elbow if your travels take you under ladders.

Avoid washing dishes altogether if you don’t want company today because if you drop a fork a woman will visit, dropping a knife brings a man, and a child will show up if you drop a spoon. Did you know that a goldfish in the pond brings good luck, while a goldfish in the house brings bad?

And on your way to find the gold at the end of the rainbow, whatever you do – don’t stop to smell the dandelions – you’ll wet the bed!

Happy Friday the 13th!
