Yesterday was pancake day.
If you don't know what pancake is... it's the BEST day of the year because you get to have pancakes for supper and there's stuff in them... like money.
I have no idea how pancake day started... not a clue... you can probably find it on the internet somewhere though... anyways, my nan sticks to this Pancake Day tradition that if you get a nail in your pancake it means you're going to be a carpenter, if you get a button you're going to be a tailor, if you get string you'll be a fisherman and if you get money it means you'll be coming into some money soon... besides the change in your pancakes. (don't worry, everything gets sterilized before it goes into the pancakes)
Anyways... we had pancakes at my nan's house yesterday. She told us right off that there were two with nothing in them because she ran out of things to put in the pancakes. While we were eating them, though, we found four with nothing in them and two of the strings she had put in the pancakes were un-accounted for.... so we think I ate them because I had eight pancakes for my supper.
pancake day,
