Does anyone have any crazy superstitions like I do?
Like when my kids go with anyone in a car, I wave after them, then cross myself (Catholic-style) once for each kid plus the driver.
And when I REALLY need Divine Intervention, I not only pray to God, but also to everyone in Heaven who could maybe, like, PROD God (hey, it rhymes) to make sure my prayer gets to the top of the list. Like when my kid is sporting a really high fever or when Sam was in the NICU.
Who else, besides Tori Spelling, is nuts like me?
Well, I met an Orthodox nun who would cross herself when the plane was about to take off from the runway. When there was a delay and we didn't get to take off until later, she crossed herself again (I guess they wear off) :). I don't think she was "nuts," though, or even superstitious. I think it was more about giving God honour and remembering in Whose care our lives are entrusted.
