My darling co-host and I are having a disupte. Does anyone remember the poem about the day of the week you were born on, "Monday's child is full of grace, Tuesday's child is fair of face, Wednesday's child is....."

Greg says it's Monday's child is fair of face
I say it's Monday's child is full of grace
Google searches turn up both
Anyone have an opinion (or an answer for which version came first) on this?

I know of the poem but I don't know it. What's Sunday's child? lol

And the child that is born on the Sabbath Day,
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay

(that's me too)

[cougrr.livejournal.com]

what does bonny and blithe mean??? I know good obviously, and that gay means happy ... but bonny and blithe? I guess those are good things, but... ?

[newschick.livejournal.com]

bonny means pretty, blithe means lighthearted

yep, that's a perfect description of me

*wink*

Google searches turn up both, but one has way more results than the other.

Fair of face: 3,440 results
Full of grace: 120 results

Sorry, dude. Looks like he's right.

I hate it when he's right
but can't I be a little right too?

My searches all got Teusdays child as being full of grace :)

Just dont tell him that he is right ;)

[newschick.livejournal.com]

oh he's already convinced he's right - I came in for my meeting and he stopped me in the hall and said "Oh, and about that Monday's child thing this morning - you're wrong." Although he did get an email from some listener saying she learned it as Monday's child is full of grace.

Wow you guys take your stuff seriously then ;) Is there going to be a gun blazing feud?

[newschick.livejournal.com]

Greg and I are very competitive with each other ;)

Damn, I would've thought your version was the right one, but your sis is correct... way more for Greg's version on Google. poo.

all i know is that 'Wednesday's child is full of woe' - guess what day of the week i was born on...certainly explains my sunny disposition ;)

[aphraeldanae.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

I have no idea on what day of the week I was born. Is this the sort of thing people normally note?

Further, I'm not entirely sure I want to figure it out. ;) Besides, I was born over the dateline, it all gets screwed up... :) (which is a nice way of saying I'm way too lazy to figure it out)
