Tuesday's child is full of crap
I found an excellent web tool for the woodshed of anyone with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: CalendarHome.com.Among the many services this site provides is a calculator that determines the number of days between two dates, a tool that converts dates into their Islamic, Julian, and Gregorian calendar counterparts, and a database of days of the week, so you can find out the day you were born if you weren't keeping track at the time.
It was this latter tool I used to determine that only half of my family seems to be following the rules of this poem:
Monday's child is fair of face,Here is a latter-day David Bowie video, "Thursday's Child," from the "Heathen" album:
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
