5 6 Talk About It With a Little Luck Playwright Tennessee Williams famously wrote, Luck is believing you re lucky. But some people believe special charms or certain actions can encourage luck. Use the following questions to start a discussion with your friends and family about how good fortune comes your way. What is your definition of luck? Do you believe luck can be influenced by something you do, such as wearing a lucky shirt or picking up a penny on the street? Do you have a lucky charm, a lucky number or a specific ritual that you believe brings you good fortune? If so, explain how it has brought you good luck. Do you believe some people are born lucky? Easter Eggs By: Brian Rosso, R.D. The Easter egg is a tradition that is celebrated around the world. Many people believe that the egg is a sign of rebirth. Originally, people would take great time and effort to paint and decorate eggs. However, over time, some people chose to use plastic eggs or chocolate eggs instead. Decorating Easter eggs dates back 2,500 years. Countries such as Russia, Romania and Poland still create very detailed colored eggs. Some people prefer tan Easter eggs, so they boil the eggs in water containing onion skins. In England, different colored yarns are also tied to the eggs to create a unique look. On Easter in the United Kingdom, painted eggs are rolled down steep hills for fun. In the United States, children roll eggs on the ground using a spoon, which is an annual event at the White House. Easter egg hunts are another famous tradition. Beeping Easter eggs are now used to allow the visually impaired the opportunity to also hunt for Easter eggs. Happy Easter!
