pencil test

You know my absolute hatred for surprises? If you didn't, now you do. Can you imagine me having a baby, and not knowing what it is...it completely throws me over the edge! I wonder, dream, and then I succumb to doing Jr. High games to figure out what this baby is that I am having.
I am hoping that someone knows this "test"!!? You put a string on the end of a pencil...like so...

then you dangle it over your wrist. It will turn in circles for boys, and it will do a line for girls. Pausing inbetween each child. So, I did it to my boss...it was correct, I did it to my friend...it was correct. They did it to me, and I am still laughing. I am beginning to think this "test" is true.

Have you done it? Was it right? Do tell!

I haven't done this since....well, Jr High. I can't remember what it even said. Maybe I should do this just to see if I am going to have any more.

Do you know how excited I am to see this! In my family the pencil test is bible! My mom keeps a pencil with a needle and thread hooked in to the eraser on her kitchen shelf at all times!!! The funny thing is, my dad thinks it's evil and leaves the room whenever we do it! :) We do it on EVERYONE and it is ALWAYS right- except for on me! Mine is not right.-- but I'm still a hardcore believer!
Sooooo, what does yours say?

Okay so we are TOTAL believers on this one too. It was right on my grandma, all of my aunts, and I know it said I was having a girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, girl, girl (well it actually just kept spinning in circles.....) my friend said it did the same thing to her and she ended up with surprise twins with her last pregnancy... and I had a miscarriage before I had Will and on my grandma and aunt it counted two extra kids and they each had two miscarriages. How many kids did it say you were going to have??
