Dear Cygnets,

Remember all those times I tried to debunk the whole "step on a crack" nonsense? Sure you do. I would talk about how silly superstitions are. And that they are a tool used by the weak minded so they can pretend they have some control in an unpredictable world? Now do you remember?

Oh! Oh! And the funny part when we would stomp on every crack we could find and I'd laugh and say, "See! Not broken!" Remember that too?

Good. Because I take it back. Stop stepping on lines now, please.
