Specifically - Many people have lucky socks or shirts or stones or pens. Is there an object you own that you consider lucky? If so, why?
Not really. It seems a bit unfair on all the objects not considered lucky. Mind you, I still try to alternate which foot gets the shoe or sock on first in case the other gets offended. Admittedly, this is a hangover from my childhood, but I hate the thought of upsetting my shoes. Does that even make sense?
Moving right along - I don't have lucky objects, but I do have a sort of proprietorial feel for some mugs. If there is a choice, I will gravitate to the same three or four. Choice is not a given. My family are notorious for taking mugs upstairs and
only bringing them down when new lifeforms have evolved inside them. I think they may be quietly conducting some kind of genetic experiment without telling me. One morning, I'll wake up and find a nicely made zombie in the kitchen making a cup of coffee with husband and son looking proudly on. "Surprise!"
I have to admit that I've never worried about upsetting my shoes.
ReplyDeleteI tend to have proprietorial feelings for pens. My significant other and co-workers have learned not to touch a pen that I may be using.
Pens! Yes, pens. And coffee cups. And genetic experiments, but please don't tell my love (I'm trying to make a maid, but it's not going well).
ReplyDeleteLove this! Now, I must try to figure out how to follow...
I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one with that problem :)
ReplyDeleteMy quiet attempts at building a housekeeper always end in failure. Could it be that ancient pizza crust isn't the right material?
