Monday's Child
 

According to the old poem..

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 a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

(The innocence of the word 'gay' in the past... I still remember when it meant 'happy')

I was born on a Tuesday, I'm not particularly graceful but I do have a tendency to act with 'courteous good will' :p

What day of the week were you born and do you have the attributes that the poem has given for your day?

Apparently I'm a Sunday kid.

Happy, laid back...that's me. Oh yes. Good too. The white sheep of the family. :rofl:

Re: Monday's Child
 

I'm also a Sunday child

I think I'm laid back and good

So weird, I was just thinking about this today! :blink: I googled dates to be sure, and it turns out I was wrong about the day my oldest son was born :eek: so both sons born on a Wednesday, but are not particularly woeful, although number 2 is a tad serious. Daughter is a complete Sunday's child, even got the character award at her grade 8 graduation, and is a perfect Canadian camp counsellor type. She does not get this from me, or her father. I am a completely graceless Tuesday's child.

Re: Monday's Child
 

Now you made me look at my daughter .............. born on a Sunday, and yes the epitome of Sunday's child

OH was born on a Thursday, and certainly has gone a long way, in his career and distances travelled :lol:

Re: Monday's Child
 

Of course.. and 'bonnie' too no doubt!

You and Bristol are twins! :)

Strange how we had the same thought - and another Sunday child!

You and I are both Tuesday's child :)

Another Sunday.. it seems a popular day :)

My son was born on a Monday and he's very fair of face (but he's also travelled extensively and works hard for a living...) :D

It's interesting to see how people's characters have aligned with the days they were born, in a lot of cases.

Re: Monday's Child
 

Me too. Not sure about grace unless it means in manners rather than poise.

I'll have a bit of Monday, Friday, Sat and Sunday if there is any spare.

Re: Monday's Child
 

I'm a Monday

Re: Monday's Child
 

Do we need a photo to go with that? Or will you pronounce judgement on yourself? (Obviously I am completely convinced you live up to to rhyme's prediction :nod:)

Re: Monday's Child
 

Well if fair means pale then yes, otherwise I'm fat so no am not fair.

Re: Monday's Child
 

I'm a Friday's child. That description of me is eerily accurate. Loving and giving are the 2 words used most often to describe me!

My daughter is a Friday's child as well and in all seriousness she is loving and giving. She's very generous and a kind soul.

My son was a Wednesday's child, and again, very accurate. He had a good heart but trouble always seemed to find him.

Re: Monday's Child
 

Me, my husband and my youngest are Tuesday's children. Not sure whether we're full of grace or not but we do all have the same type of personality which is different to my eldest who is a Sunday and that's probably about right. Weirdly (in my head anyway) she was born on a Sunday in a year when both my and my husband's birthdays were on a Sunday.

About as much relevance as astrology imo.:lol:

As as social scientist this is really good data. Thanks, this has made my work so much easier. :thumbup:

Re: Monday's Child
 

Full of woe. Hmm, if one could equate that to being a cynical, pessimistic sod then that would indeed be accurate.

Re: Monday's Child
 

I'm a Sunday child as well.
