Favorite Number

At the breakfast table one Saturday, my daughter announced we needed to get two more dogs because three is a magic number (apparently, a song from School House Rocks).

As far as numerology goes, I have always thought three was my number. I am the third of four children. I was born on the 30th day of the month. My address growing up was 3313. When I went away to college my dorm room was 313. My church's address is 313. When we went to Disney World last year, the hotel room number was 313. Although, I can't seem to roll many threes during my monthly Bunko game!

So, I told my daughter that I always thought “3” was my number. She quickly responded that “2” was her number. I asked besides the fact that she was born on the 22nd of the month, what other 2s were there in her life? “Well,” she replied, “I have two eyes, two arms, two feet ...” I rolled my eyes. She continued, “and remember when I took dance years ago? I wore a tutu!”
