my mother sent this to me. it's a nursery rhyme. i'd never heard it before, and lemme tell you, i know some mother goose! so, i was delighted by this {new-to-me} ditty:
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.
our family? ben was born on a tuesday (but not so graceful); jb was born on a thursday (but oh, he's come so far!); dylan was a monday child (and is she ever fair of face) and me, well, do i even have to say it? i was born on a sunday. insert peals of giggles, naturally.
This is an old english rhyme, not so often heard nowadays = but I remember it from the school playground. Wikipedia has some interesting stuff on its origins - cld be to do with moon and planets or norse gods and stuff.
