I had a discussion of superstition last Friday in my conversation class. I made a big mistake. Making everyone laughed. There is a superstition in Taiwan. A woman who is pregnant can’t touch and use sharp things, such as scissors, knife, and fork. They believe those sharp things may hurt some part of baby’s body when he or she in mother’s body. Here comes my mistake. I said fork was forbidden to use, but I said pork was forbidden to use instead. Everyone confused that why a mother could not eat pork when she was pregnant. Before I said this superstition, I had already reminded myself not to say pork, but fork. I still forgot. When I realized that I made a mistake, it was too late. Everyone laughed loudly, but I felt really embarrassed.
