The Ring Says...

You all probably know this old wives tale, but for those that don't I'll explain. Note: there are about a million different variations of this test, this is just one of them. This test is supposed to tell you the gender of all the children you have been or will ever be pregnant with (including miscarriages), in order. OK, here's how it goes. Take your wedding ring, engagement ring, or some other ring and put it on the end of a thin chain or thread. Hold the end of the chain or thread with your right hand, holding the ring over your left palm. To start, raise the ring up and down 5 times over your palm, but don't touch the ring to your palm. Now, hold the ring a still as possible. The ring will either move in a circular pattern, or a straight line back and forth. Circle = girl, line = boy. The ring will stop and stand still between kids, then start up again. When it stops permanently, you're done.

I did this four separate times and got the exact same results each time. It says: Boy, Girl, Boy, Boy.... Girl. Now, as you all know, we only plan on four. I can think of 3 explanations for #5. 1) The last two are twins (or God forbid, the last three are triplets). 2) We have number 4 and decide that 3 boys and 1 girl sucks and try for another girl. 3) Sadly, one ends up being a miscarriage.

Ok, that's my fun for today. Give it a try and let me know what you get!
