As children, we held hands and purposely jumped on all the cracks in the sidewalk, knowing full well that Mom would be fine when we got home from school.

We only picked up pennies that were tails side up. Every Saturday we stood outside Mrs. Miller’s house, waiting for her black cat to walk by. When Dad was fixing the roof, we ran under the ladder as many times as we could.

In the funhouse at the carnival, we didn’t like the way the mirrors made us look. So we broke them all. We were banned from the carnival that night, but bad luck didn’t follow us around for the next seven years.

Being born on the same day was all the luck we ever needed.
