I'm Thursdays child and I have gone far from home - are these true for you?
My sister is Wed. but was always the bright and bubbly one of the family....

Right load of Bull, if a child was born around midnight on a Sunday, and the time wasn't recorded to the exact second, then it could be a Sunday, or a Monday child, and who could prove which was which.
Same with Cesarian births, left to nature they could be a diiferent day of the week.

It's like horoscopes though -a lot of people like to read them and generally believe them if they are good!

This is so that the cats spend their time licking the butter off rather than trying to get back to their old home..
Not sure it will work!
