If you break a mirror & no one is home to see/hear it.......

is it still 7 years bad luck?

OK so I confess, I'm a very superstitious person. I don't know why, except the woman who had more influence on me than any other--that would be my Nana--was 100% Albanian, a very superstitious ethnicity, & she taught me pretty much every old wives' tales known to woman. So it rubbed off on me & I really do stick to every single thing she taught me.

I have this huge full length mirror w/a very heavy wood frame. It hung in my hall & when I was at a family thing on Saturday it fell & shattered. I came home at 9 that night to quite a mess & yes, cut myself a few times (but managed to keep the pups clear) cleaning it up.

I've been fretting ever since that this'll bring me bad luck. Am I crazy? I mean, I'm really worried about it. I don't need anymore bad luck! Hopefully since it happened when I wasn't there the bad luck won't stick?

Laura - It fell and shattered while you were gone, so you're free and clear! Now, if you were present and actual caused the "falling" or dropped the mirror, then maybe you could worry. I'm giving you a free pass on this one though.

You could break a mirror in Times Square with plenty of witnesses and you would NOT have 7 years of back luck--just a mess to clean up .
(I've broken several in my life so I speak from experience.) I'm very glad you and your pups didn't have more serious injuries cleaning up the glass!

Now, OTOH, if a black cat crosses your path while you are walking under a ladder during a full moon while spilling salt, that WOULD be cause for concern!

Chocolate IS the answer, regardless of the question.

Whew, I am relieved! Because I wasn't there, right? Maybe I need to google this just to make sure.........

Just FYI, I do avoid black cats & walking under ladders, I love full moons but do my best not to leave the house when it's that time, & when I spill salt I toss a little over my left shoulder.
