Happy Birthday, Gr8Kat! I was born on May 13, 1971, and my son was born on January 13, 1994. I’ve had my birthday on Friday the 13th lotsa times, so no triskadecaphobia for me!
My daddy. He was born June 13th. And did you know that in 1980, The Shining and Friday the 13th both came out, in June? His birthday. At least…I think that’s true.
I was born on Friday the 13th too (August). Whenever I mention this to people they always respond “figures”…What’s that supposed to mean anyway?
also, I think the second friday 13th bday I had, i was 7 or so and because of the day my mom decided to make it a halloweenish type party… I didn’t mind as it was another excuse to put on my favorite vampire costume.
Though I’m not a mom and don’t plan to be (until that comprehensive sex-change operation goes ahead as planned), I don’t think flying on a plane on that day would even compare to trying to give birth to a baby.
THankfully my mother wasn’t superstitious and said “begone” to me and my bad unborn self.
I had my 13th birthday on Friday the 13th. We had a dinner party with 13 guests (all 12-14 yr old girls). My mom, sister, and sister’s boyfriend served as cook/servers. We had to order everything from the menu including the napkins and silverware, but everything had different (and somewhat gross) name. So you might order a plate of spaghetti and then only have a spoon with which to eat it. It was so much fun! Then a huge storm came along and knocked out the electricity. Couldn’t have been better timing.
March 13, 1959 to be exact. FWIW, according to Kenner (or whatever his toy company is) Ken – you know, Barbie’s boyfriend – was born on March 13 too, but a year or too later. Sure beats the actor who played Rerun, that chubby guy on “What’s Happening?” who was also born on the date.
