What child are you?
What child are you?
Sunday's Child Is Full of Grace
Sunday's child is full of grace,
Monday's child is full in the face,
Tuesday's child is solemn and sad,
Wednesday's child is merry and glad,
Thursday's child is inclined to thieving,
Friday's child is free in giving,
And Saturday's child works hard for a living.
Does the child's poem above describe what kind of child you were and the person you are? Inquiring minds would like to know.
No, this isn't a pub quiz but I did partake in this exploration at a bar in a pub a while back..it got real interesting.
Moi? I'm a Sunday's child.

What's that, the p.c. version? This is how it goes:MarkB wrote:Sunday's Child Is Full of Grace

Wednesday's child is merry and glad,
Thursday's child is inclined to thieving,
Friday's child is free in giving,

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
I was born on a Wednesday.

Okay, my avatar is a French bulldog. Opposite. What is the opposite of French? English? Bull, opposite is cow, I guess. Dog? Well, is that a cat? An English cowcat? It is an animal. A human? I don't seem to really be picking up on that hint, do I?jsluder wrote:The opposite of your avatar?Cynth wrote:What does "full in the face" mean exactly?
Is "full in the face" like plump? I thought it would have a more non-physical meaning.
