6 Superstition

A: Are you superstitious?
B: I don’t think I am.
A: Then why are you wearing that lucky charm?
B: Oh, that. It’s from my mom. She gave it to me on my birthday.
A: And that string bracelet? What’s with that?
B: My mom gave me that, too. Apparently, it was blessed by some temple master on some mountain somewhere.
A: Gee! Can you be more vague?
B: Sorry, man! My mom is really superstitious. She goes to temples and fortunetellers almost every weekend.
A: My mom is like that, too! Last week, she took me to some temple on some mountain somewhere so I could get my palm read by some temple master. My mom is really worried about my love life, and the temple master said I’d meet my Mr. Right this year.
B: Jeez! Who is being vague now?
A: Sorry about that! But, I mean, seriously, I don’t need someone to tell me that I should get married at a certain time or that I’ll lose my opportunity to ever get married!
B: If I were you, I’d tell your mom to mind her own business.
A: Are you out of your mind?
