It happens a couple times a year, and there are always fun superstitions, and freaky, funny, or scary movies to watch on this day.
For me, this Friday the 13th means more than superstitions and watching weird movies. It was the day, yes, Friday the 13th, 45 years ago when my first born son was born.
We are currently at odds with each other, for reasons I don't even know. However, I did send him a post card wishing him a happy birthday earlier this week, so he would get it on time.
It was also the birthday for one of the pool members this morning, and we all sung Happy Birthday to her in the pool. I also stayed late, joining the group in the lounge to wish her a happy birthday. I heard she turned 80 today, and definitely doesn't look it.
Do you have family members, friends, or yourself who was born on Friday the 13th?
This is a picture of my three children together at my daughter's wedding reception in 2012. I believe he's on the right. He's the taller of my two sons.
Thanks for reading.

No, I don't personally know anyone who was born on Friday the 13th. I forgot that today was Friday and it was the 13th.

@just4him I do have to keep up with dates and times but when I get off track I go full keel off track.

@Shellyann36 So, do I. I saw garbage cans outside this morning, and was momentarily thrown off as garbage day in the neighborhood is Tuesdays. It's Wednesday. This week I know what day it is. I have lots going on tomorrow.

Nice photo. He is quite handsome. No family members or anyone I know with a birthday on that day.

What beautiful children! I am sorry that he isn't on great terms right now- sometimes we never know why people act the way they do. Go figure. I hope he comes around, and you did the right thing to send the post card. Happy birthday to your pool friend. Maybe swimming keeps one young

Isn't that a nice picture? I don't think anyone was born on a Friday the 13rh amongst my family and friends. My Friday the 13th went rather well.

I do not know anyone with a birthday on the 13th, so I cannot know anyone who ever has a Friday the 13th birthday. It is a shame when a family member chooses not to get along.

Yes my nephew has his birthday today too! I am not really that superstitious about Friday 13th. Actually the first movie I took my wife to see was Friday 13th I told her it was a love story! Well it was of sorts..........She sat through the film with her hood over her head the whole way through!

Happy Birthday to your nephew. I would have been like your wife, with the hood over my eyes. I've never seen the movies.
I've never seen the movies.
