On the fourth we hung out at my parent's place and Shanna was talking about the Pencil Trick...it can apparently tell you how many kids you'll have. You thread a sewing needle, then stick it in the center of the eraser on a freshly sharpened pencil. You hold the pencil (by the string in the needle) over a person's wrist. It will circle, then move horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Horizontal= boy, vertical= girl and diagonal=twins.
I was a bit skeptical but we did the test on my mom... it was girl, boy, twin, boy, boy... Then we did my dad, and his said the same thing...so we did everyone else and guess what mine said:
Girl, Girl there was differing opinions on whether they were preceded by a 'twin' marking.
Have any of you tried this?? Has it been accurate?

Hello, I stumbled upon your blog a while back when looking for people possibly related to us. I check in every once in awhile, I hope you don't mind. I too am very superstitious and my family has done a variation of the pencil trick: with a string thredded through a wedding ring and it has always been right strangly enough. However we always say that if it goes left to right across the wrist it is a girl and if it goes front to back direction of the arm it is a boy.
Our Family has done this for many generations and left to right is a boy and front to back(length of the arm) is a girl, we have done it on my mom just recently and it accurately labeled each one of her kids. It is so trippy but its real!
