Bad Luck?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Diary,

Do you believe in bad luck? I don’t think I do – but my friend Sparky does. He says he’s been having the worst luck ever. He broke his skateboard, skinned his paws, lost his handheld game, and flunked a test.

OK, so that sounds pretty bad.

But is it because of bad luck? I don’t know. His skateboard needed fixing and he kept putting it off. He’s always misplacing things…and he didn’t study for the test, so what did he think would happen?

Anyway, he was really bummed at today’s ‘Kinz meeting…so much so that after he left, my friends and I discussed a way to make him feel better. Now, it does involve a little bit of trickery…but sometimes that’s OK, right?

Stoogles decided that he’d tell Sparky that he’s giving him a lucky rock. The rock isn’t lucky at all, of course. It’s just a nice, shiny gray rock that Stoogles found one day. But as Roberta said, “if Sparky BELIEVES it’s lucky, maybe he’ll start to FEEL luckier…and less sad.”
And she’s got a good point.

So we’re going to give him the rock…and maybe set up a few ‘lucky’ things so Sparky’s mood improves.

It can’t hurt, right?

    I don’t know, that’s pretty deceitful. it’s nice that you’re trying to cheer him up, but even if he feels luckier there’s no way to prevent unlucky things to happen in the future. D: I don’t know if that’s the way to go.

    You’re such good friends for Sparky. Even though trickery may just make it worse… ;-)
