Gender Prediction

I saw this on my DIMay board and tried it. It's really cool!! You take a pencil with a threaded needle in the top and hold it over your wrist and it moves in certain ways to tell you what the gender of your children are. It signaled boy first (for Max) and then paused and then signaled girl. It was really neat! I even did it a second time and when it paused after signaling "boy" I started really thinking about another boy and trying to get it to say "boy" again, but it paused and then started moving across my wrist for a girl. Who knows if it's really true or not, but it's still fun to try!

To do it: Thread a needle with string and poke the needle into the eraser of a pencil. Hold it above your wrist (or your friend's- whoever) and watch how it pencil moves. It will move up and down your arm (hand to elbow) for a boy and back and forth (across the wrist) for a girl. The pencil comes to a short pause in between each child and when all children are accounted for it completely stops moving. It's WEIRD!
