    e) I finish preparing my meal, sit down with the sports page and eat. When my mom gets home, she cleans it up.

        Originally posted by clubbin714 I was at a friend’s house and the nanny there was an older Armenian Lady I would say in her 60’s. She was cooking a small pot of very dark, thick coffee that had an unusual smell to it. I am not much of a coffee drinker but she would not take no for an answer.

        She poured the coffee into these tiny little cups that were no more then 2, 3 inches high that would barely fit in my hand. We drank the coffee and after we finished she asked us to flip the cups into the little trays. After a minute or two she took out the cup and starting staring into it very deeply, almost examining the inner linings. She looked up at me and said did you know you were an Armenian boy. I said no. She then said you don’t know your parents do you. I said no. She said your mother is looking for you, you should find her.

        I never knew my parents and never knew who I was until that day. I never really cared. She set me on a path and it turned out she was right about everything.
        A truly touching story. Where were you raised, Mr. Clubbin?

            I personally don't believe in the superstition stuff, but there are some superstitions my family talks about. My aunt "reads" coffee cups, I think it's hilarious. Though mostly she does it for fun. They also say if your palm itches, you are going to make money.

            Oh yeah, here's a weird one. My moms cousins brother (typically armo, eh? ) people go to him when they can't stop coughing, or if they feel something is stuck in their throat. He supposedly does something and a seed, or the thing that's stuck in your throat flies out.

              I thought it means something else for men.

                  In fact... I think your hippo by the looks of it, might be suffering from an itchy palm syndrome.

                      f) spit on it 3 times and everything will be okay

                      since d and e are not an option then f should defiently be an option

                      I grew up with a mother who is very superstitious. Just about anything I did could have a bad affect on my future, but no matter what I did she would always say just lightly spit on it and it'll all go away
