Someone joked that I should try for all the months of the year.“I’m a bit of a numbers person and I was interested to find out what the chances were of this happening.”The daughter of a friend worked out there is an 823,543 to one chance.Amanda added: “It’s nearly one in a million. It’s obviously quite unusual. We didn’t do it deliberately. I don’t think you could even plan for it to happen.”The mum also said that her children’s personalities fitted in with the old poem.She said: “It’s really strange. The poem states says Wednesday’s child is ‘full of woe’.“I’m hoping Eva’s not going to be miserable but she can pout already so maybe she will be a bit of a misery guts.”Baby poemThe original poem first appeared in a book of Devon traditions in 1838 but is probably much older. The author is unknown.Monday’s child (Lexi) is fair of face,Tuesday’s child (Jack) is full of grace,Wednesday’s child (Eva) is full of woe,Thursday’s child (Ben) has far to go,Friday’s child (Lyndsey) is loving and giving,Saturday’s child (Sam) works hard for a living,But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day (Rebecca)Is bonny and blithe and good and gay(mirror.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
