don’t mess with tradition

Yesterday as I was watching my dear friend open gifts at her baby shower and adorn herself with the ribbons from the packages, a memory came rushing back to me.  At my wedding showers, I broke every single ribbon – on purpose – just to spite that silly tradition of babies for the breaks.

WARNING: Do NOT mock such traditions.

 Just kidding, I’m not superstitious like that.  I do think its a bit of an ironic little pickle though.
