Have you ever done something that may seem strange to to others, but makes perfect sense to you?
You may not even realize when it happens, but there's a good chance somewhere down the line your mother or father have done the same thing.
I came to this realization recently when a certain Beatles' song came on the radio. Now, I am actually a fan of the Beatles and pretty much love every song; however, when this particular song came on I instantly, without thinking, changed the station. I've always been superstitious when it comes to this song. So, superstitions in fact, I will not even reveal the name of the song.
Upon reflection, I remember my father doing the same thing, with the very same song when I was little. I now realize, his superstition became my superstition.
So, the song that shall not be named will go down in infamy, and I don't even know why.
It is baffling how a song or smell or image can bring back such vivid memories from so long ago. There are a couple songs that trigger the same feelings for me. I like your determination to never mention the name again. I think I will adopt the same practice.
ReplyDeletethis is so seriously funny to me Darlene... very serious business though these superstitions of ours. Love this!
