I am very superstitious, or at least when I view my child self I was. When I was a kid my mother laughed at me and told me that superstitions were silly. Then I asked her if Koreans had any unique ones.

Her answer: "Waking up with a spider dangling over you head means good fortune, luck or money--something like that."

My response: "Oh! So that's why you never kill spiders when I scream for you to get rid of them?"

She walked off.
