She doesn’t remember learning these rules; rather, they seem to be some innate, biological knowledge wound tightly through the coils of her DNA. Certainly no one ever sat her down and explained how long you needed to hold your breath before picking up a lucky penny (fifteen seconds) or how many days after its plucking a four-leaf clover retains its good luck (four), she just knew....
