Erin So to explain. My two best friends in the world were having a daily chat with me today like we do nearly everyday. I cannot say enough that these are the funniest women I know, and they mean the world to me. We talk about everything (work, kids, movies, bodily functions, possible thoughts of homicide). The bar is very low when it comes to our openness.
This year has not been kind to them As far as new years resolutions go, theirs is just to stay alive! They have had nearly three super close calls with stupid drivers, work problems, car insurance gone wrong, phone issues, and death. Our families have the same tradition. Every new year’s eve and day requires cabbage. My family is Irish. It is a priority that every year, cabbage must be had. Cooked in whatever form, it is to prevent bad luck and even death in the upcoming new year. I am not saying it is a flawless method, because shit happening is unavoidable. However, I did see some proof in the pudding in today’s talk. I asked, and for one of the first years in forever….. they did not eat cabbage! Dun dun dunnnnnnnnn
I am curious. What are your weird or strange family traditions? Mine cannot be the only superstitious family out there. Perhaps if Marie Antoniette chose a different food her people would not have starved and she would have lived a long life……… with her head attached!
“Let them eat cabbage!”
