<p>My D was born on Friday the 13th. My son was born on Ides of March.</p>
<p>We’re either proof it’s all a superstition… or my devil children have yet to show their horns…</p>
<p>Yes, but today the “13” is cancelled by the “7’s” in both the month and the year.</p>

<p>I’m afraid of people who are afraid of the number 13.</p>
<p>As one who was born on a Friday 13TH I always considered it a lucky day and a bit of fun.</p>
<p>I don’t fear any numbers but I definitely have lucky numbers-- inconsistent?</p>
