…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 who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.
Does this apply to you or anyone in your family? My pa – a Thursday's child – spent most of his professional life travelling all over the world. My sister – a Monday's child – was always considered staggeringly beautiful. I am a Friday's child and I think I have always tried to be generous, but there have been at least two men in my life who described me as the most unloving woman they ever knew.
Absentdaughter was born on the Sabbath Day and is amazing and lovely in many ways – but not all of them at the same time throughout her life so far. I can't remember/don't know the actual days of my grandchildren's birth days, except the most recent one. He was a Friday but as he is only six weeks old, it's hard to be sure how he is going to turn out.
