I was listening to Dr. Drew the other day on the radio, and he said he has a fear of the number "13". It even has a technical term for it...Triskaidekaphobia.

I guess that's why elevators don't have a 13th floor?

Not scared! But that's definitely why a lot of buildings skip from floor 12 to 14--bad luck or whatnot.

Nope, it's just another number to me. I didn't know that elevators skip the 13th floor!

My parents got married on Friday the 13th and have been married almost 38 years. I've never thought it was unlucky.

Nope, my original due date was Friday, January 13th, which also is my mom's birthday. Our anniversary is March 13th too!
I was more than happy if he came on time on the 13th. I lucked out and got him on the 7th (a year ago today!), reinforcing that 7 is indeed my lucky number! I got that from my old t-ball number and a few favorite athletes.

@mrbee: mine too! i was born on the 31st, but that is not a common number, so i took the 13th as mine. i would actually think it was fun if LO was born on 1.13.13. we'll see.
