When I grew up it was, don’t be cross as I remember it. Said by my mom of course. Watching my three older sisters get into trouble, I don’t think I was ever cross, but probably scared? Adventurous yes, but rarely ever daring enough to make her cross. Cross your fingers was a biggie back then. Now I think youngsters do what they want and don’t bother to cross their fingers because they don’t care about consequences – probably because there are none. Actions and words from them now would shock my parents. If a president can get away with it, why not them? The behavior in public even shocks me sometimes. What do you think?
