Just curious. tdn’s current thread got me thinking about it. I don’t necessarily care what month you were born in; I’m just wondering if any other Dopers share my happy fate.
Not only was I born on Friday the 13th, but before we moved, my job was on the 13th Floor. And when I have to travel to the US Attorney’s Office as part of my job, the location I visit is most often on the 13th Floor there, too. 13 is my friend.
Oh, and I feel the need to put an obligatory “Paging Triskadecamus…” here.
My oldest son was born on Friday the 13th, but at 7 pm so I think that cancels it out a bit.
Almost relevant - My sister had her 13th Birthday on Friday the 13th. But, she was born on a Wednesday.
I was.
Friday, 1/13/1939.
Did your parents ever talk about being superstitious, or having friends/family that were?
Friday 10/13/39
I was as well. Friday the 13th. at 1pm, so that would be 1300 military time.
My niece wasn’t born on Friday the 13th but celebrated her first and seventh birthdays on one. Alas, her 13th birthday will be on a Saturday.
Friday, January 13th, 1956.
I was born Saturday the 13th…
Is that close enough?
I was born on Friday the 31st, and I’m number dyslexic – does that count?
My mother was. Doesn’t seem to have been too unlucky, though.
Only jokingly. I’m not much on superstition, but I have considered 13 to be my ‘lucky number’ on ocassion. My dad and I were talking about this a few years before his death. I was born at home and only he, my mother and the doctor were present. I asked him what time of day it was and he said around a quarter after one in the afternoon, but I’m pretty sure he was pulling my leg.
Friday, May 13, 1983.
My grandma - she’s 92, so I guess August 13, 1915? At any rate, it’s her lucky number.
My second boy was born on a Friday the 13th. He weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. (When I was pregnant, I craved Slurpees.)
