Stupid - stitions

How many times have you heard an aunt, uncle or even your parent say, ‘Don’t tell them what you are doing with your life because of evil eyesight.’ 

I never understood their logic of keeping certain cards hidden. They treat life situations like a game of poker and believe that their strongest contender is the evil eye.

My mother is a staunch believer in God but one thing that always upsets her which even God cannot pacify is when I finish of the last of the leftovers in the serving dish.

She always says, ‘Never eat food directly out of the vessel it is cooked in, because it will rain on your wedding day.’

Other than the fact that I serve myself last and I hate having too many dishes to wash, I like eating in the vessels in my own home. It seems unpretentious to me.
But I can understand my mother’s concern for certain things that go wrong in life. You do need an entity besides the almighty for all the things that are not going according to plan.

Now it probably will rain on my wedding day because the weather is unpredictable. Global Warming has changed the earth’s atmosphere into a stock exchange market, where some days you get lucky and other days it’s going to rain on your parade.

What I’m trying to say here is, just eat wherever the hell you want and if bad luck comes along ... you might want to carry an umbrella.
