The Nursery Rhyme

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child born on the Sabbath Day,
Is fair and wise and good in every way.

That is an old Nursery Rhyme about the days of the week that is supposed to tell your character or future based on the day you were born.

If it were true, do you think people would notice that most models were born on Monday (fair of face)? Or most dancers were born on Tuesday (full of grace)?

Do your own research to find if there is any truth in it!
