Yeah, that’s what S says too. I’ll be she doesn’t even know where that comes from. But I do.
I’ll buy a soda for the first person who correctly answers the question, “Where does ‘Jinx, buy me a soda’ comes from?”

When I was a kid we played it that when jinx was called the other person couldn’t speak until someone said their name. My kids play it “jinx buy me a soda” which of course never happens. Lame. 😉

I’m afraid my method isn’t very attractive but it’s functional: If it didn’t come with an envelope or my tracings have outgrown the original envelope I use Ziploc bags or accordion folders (like a manila file folder but 3 sides are closed). If I have more than one size traced I keep the pieces of each size pinned together. All of it lives in a…[Read more]

….we use ‘jinx’ too – but (in my house anyway), jinx is reserved for saying the same thing at the same time. And like MC, we say ‘no return’ – but the person then can’t speak until someone says their name three times.
So, now that I am thinking about it, I guess we say ‘snap’ for when we are doing the same thing – like having matching pairs in…[Read more]

@vothgirl I thought you just hung out sideways most of the time!
I don’t think that’s something to do with the site but with the image that was uploaded. Can you try to rotate it and then upload it again?

She’s only two, so Ellie isn’t as intelligibly conversational as the stories above! But she cracks me up…
Every day when I put her down for her nap, it varies on how long it takes her to fall asleep. Many kids would get cranky lying in the dark unable to doze off but not Ellie! She will entertain herself for what is sometimes hours. I’m not s…[Read more]

Such a great look for twins when you don’t want them too matchy matchy — that shape ties the looks together but each is so distinct.

In the What Are You Sewing Now thread, I noticed the Australian gals using ‘snap’ the way I’d say ‘jinx’ — for when two people say or do the same thing at the same time. The rules around jinx vary but commonly as a kid you’d owe the person who beat you to saying jinx something like a soda. I never saw that debt actually paid. Are there rules…[Read more]
