Today is the ninth day of January. I take special note of several days throughout the year… most notably the days on which my loved ones (family & friends)…..were born. So today is of that specific consideration. Happy Birthday Loved One.
You see, I am the youngest of a clan of 7. Two of my siblings were born on this date. No, they are not twins….. they were birthed 6 years apart. A boy and a girl. Fred and Elane. Fred was born on a Wednesday, Elane on a Thursday.
Here’s the 7 breakdown, because I know you won’t be able to sleep tonight without it…..(the names throughout this post have been changed to protect the unwitting).
Kid 1-Thursday
Kid 2-Friday
Kid 3-Wednesday
Kid 4-Wednesday
Kid 5-Thursday
Kid 6-Sunday
Kid 7-Wednesday
I may have a theory about “Days of the Week” and birth information. I definitely have a theory about which ovary each egg came from. (One consistent sperm source throughout.) Sooooooo…. Fredster & Elaney…. I made you a photo for your birthday on this very night. They are Magnolia Pods. (The Magnolia is named for Pierre Magnol a French Botanist…who was born on June 8, 1638, which was a Friday.)
Thanks, Polly….
Happy Birthday!
never saw all the days arranged like that… what’s your theory? since Pierre Magnol was born on a Friday could that mean I am a flower… or maybe a flower child? wanted to be connected tonight to you and reading your blog is making me smile.
If you go by the old poem, Friday’s Child is “loving and giving.” Sunday’s Child is “good and gay.” You are Friday. Julie, Sunday. You two are the odd kids out…. only kids born on your respective days. Jane and Ann… Thursday (Thursday’s child has “far to go” … and…. probably same ovary.) Ed, Jerry, Polly…. on Wednesday. Could be the same ovary…. but three of us, smack dab in the middle of the week. What are the odds? Full of woe? Not sure about that either.
Other theories abound, but I mostly keep them to myself….LOL……
You ARE a flower.
