Old Wive's Tales

He's got lots of blond in his hair, doesn't he?!

I was telling a co-worker how Mike wants to trim parts of Stanbear's hair, especially the long bits around his ears and how I forbid it. She told me that it is bad luck to cut a baby's hair before he turns one! She also went on to tell me that a baby should have fallen off the bed before he turns one or that could be bad luck too (although falling off the bed itself seems like bad luck enough.) I told her that he's fallen off the couch and she said that counts. Phew! I'm glad because I wouldn't want to push him off the bed in the 24th hour of his 364th day.
