My Destiny
My wife was cleaning her closet recently (our idea of fun) when she stumbled upon my parents’ wedding certificate. My wife said my mom gave it to her several years ago, but she doesn’t know why. Considering my mom has dementia, I’m sure she doesn’t know why either. She’s not exactly in her right mind. You know I’m talking about my mom and not my wife, right?
Anyhow, my wife looked at my parents’ wedding date and implied my mom might have been pregnant with me when she got married. I pointed out I was born 10 months and 14 days after they got married and therefore my mom was not pregnant when she got married. Then I remembered a friend of mine made a similar comment when the Little Princess was born. My friend asked if Mommy Forever was pregnant when we got married. Nope. My wife and I got married on July 31st and our daughter was born on June 13th — that’s 10 months and 13 days after we got married.
Isn’t that amazing? I was born 10 months and 14 days after my parents got married and the Little Princess was born 10 months and 13 days after we got married. Wait there’s more. The Little Princess was born in a leap year, which means she and I were born exactly 318 days after the big wedding day.
Now for the bonus round. As some of you know, my wife, the Little Princess, and Spiderboy were all born on June 13th. Maybe this is just a big coincidence, but sometimes I feel like my wife and I were destined to be married on July 31st and our kids were destined to be born on June 13th.
What do you think — coincidence or destiny?

That’s about as destiny as it gets!
So, how do I explain the Little Monkey? Is there a reason why she wasn’t born on June 13th?
You know the Chinese - very big on numbers and destiny. You are probably right.
Forgot to mention the outlaws consulted fortune tellers to set our wedding date. The universe would implode if got married on the wrong day.
I’m not surprised. If my mother were alive (all 1/16th Chinese of her), she probably would have done the same for hubby and me.
Maybe not destiny, but probably Karma…
I have to think about that one. I don’t usually think about karma. Not sure why.
I definitely think it’s “something” but I don’t know what!!! Maybe the stars aligning - all that numbers theory stuff. Something, though. I was born September 30. My mom - October 1. My daughter was due on September 30, but I was induced and she was born at five pounds on September 24.
Our oldest was born early because the doctor didn’t like the last test results and decided to induce. So our daughter could have been born later if it wasn’t for the test results.
I think that’s just really cool!

Too bad the Little Monkey and I couldn’t have been born on June 13th too.
Wow! I say destiny! Either that or September 13 was a *really* good day!
It is now. Too bad school ends just before their birthdays.
Definitely destiny! How cool!
I think it would have been cooler if all the kids’ birthdays landed on Halloween. How spooky.
Oh very interesting Grasshopper……
One never knows….
And according to Yoda, “Always in motion is the future.”
Just like they say…
Number 13…lucky for some…

I hope that doesn’t mean we’ll have 13 kids.
Definitely destiny! And OMG, that pic of FLASH–ADORABLE!
That’s me under that mask.
Whatever it is, you all were meant to be a family.
