I have to admit that I am EXTREMELY superstitious. When my kids are/were playing sports, I have certain rituals, like putting my purse in the same place on the bleachers, sitting in certain areas, wearing certain outfits, etc.
I KNOW it's crazy, but it is somehow reassuring to me, as I get extremely nervous before their games. I guess it makes me feel like I have some control over the outcome (when I know that rationally, I don't!!!).
Funny thing though, my kids always ask before they leave if I've got the right stuff on
I'm creating "superstition monsters"
