Jinxing Yourself

Do you believe in the old

tradition of

"knocking on wood"

You know....like when you say,

"i haven't got a ticket in a long time"..

and then someone says...

"knock on wood"

Cuz they don't want you to Jinx yourself.

If not, then how do you explain it when

you've said that and get pulled over and get a ticket

two hours later?

Is it just "ironic"

Is it a coinidence?

Is it a self fullfilling prophecy?

I've always wondered what exactly makes that happen.

When i was little i would picture something in my head ..

and then later that day...i would see it happening.

I thought maybe i was a little psychic.

I am pretty strange so ...hmmmm.

Just last night my sis in law, Marti

came over and had a bad migraine.

I said  to her....

"i've only ever had migraines after Kie's Birth

from the spinal fluid blowout"

Not 3 hours later....a Huge migraine came on.

It hasnt gone away yet...almost 24 hours later.

so it wasn't just my imagination.

All i know is that i am keeping my mouth shut.

No more   "never" or "always".....

It just isn't worth the HEADACHE....

literally!

What is your take on "Jinxing yourself" ?

Do you buy into it?
