A little bit of background. I make wishes on EVERYTHING that you can wish on. I just like to make wishes. And so when I see the clock is at 11:10, I always think, "I need to wait for just one minute so I can make a wish at 11:11!" But a lot of the time, I get distracted somehow, and when I look back at the clock it's 11:12. Then I have to run into my room to see if the clock there is still showing 11:11, because it's a little bit slower than the rest of the clocks in the house. If it's not, I'm just sad.
Even though I seem to always miss 11:11 no matter how hard I try, I always look at the clock just when it's 12:12. This happens so frequently that I decided it should have its own cool thing to do. You make a wish in your head at 11:11, so I decided that at 12:12, you should say out loud something you don't want to happen. That way I feel better abut missing 11:11.
In fact, I'd completely forgotten that I made this decision till today when one of my friends looked at his watch and said, "It's 12:12. Say something that you don't want to happen," and I said, "What's that from?" "You." Right. Now I remember when I made that up! I believe it was at a farmer's market in California (yeah, I'm cool.)
Random fact: Right after I make a wish, I always think, "please please please and thank you if it happens!"
I'm gonna start doing that at work. Nobody will think it's weird at all.
ReplyDeleteDo it! It'll be great! What's hard is when you're brushing your teeth and you see that it's 12:12, and you try and say something, and find out it's quite difficult with a toothbrush and toothpaste in your mouth
