superstitions
Today first grader Lola and I were walking hand in hand, and Lola said sternly to me, "Stepping on an acorn is bad luck." (I had been walking carelessly, with disregard for both cracks in the sidewalk and acorns). Lola thought and added, "It is also bad luck to drop a peacock feather. A peacock will appear and peck a hair out of your head! And it will hurt FOREVER!"

this is exactly why i never carry peacock feathers. thankfully, however, i have few hairs on my head to be pecked.
I had to promise Lola I would never, never drop a peacock feather. Since I don't own one, it was a relatively easy promise.
