Gosh just give me a bed in a nursing home lol I felt that old when I saw this hehehe. Yes I was born on a Wed and as the saying goes Wednesday's child is full of woe lol but I wasn't I was always full of laughter therefore I don't believe that poem
Birth date: 12 Dec 1956
You are 20544 days old. Which is 2934 weeks and 6 days.
That's 56 years and 90 days, including 14 leap years*, or 56 years, 12 weeks and 6 days.
In other words, that's 675 months. Therefore, you are 56.2 years old.
You were born on a Wednesday, your last birthday was a Wednesday and your next one will be on a Thursday.
I'm a Tuesday's Child full of grace, which is interesting because my nickname for many years was Grace (as in Kelly) even though I'm a bloke.
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 its living,
But a child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blythe, and good and gay.
Well you could have been nicknamed "Ned" instead I suppose Gary.
I knew a bloke called Tucker, so his nickname was "Sophie" after another movie star..
I was wondering who the author was of that poem, this is what Wikipedia says about it;
"This rhyme was first recorded in A. E. Bray's Traditions of Devonshire (Volume II, pp. 287288)[2] in 1838 and was collected by James Orchard Halliwell in the mid-nineteenth century.[1] The tradition of fortune telling by days of birth is much older. Thomas Nashe recalled stories told to "yong folks" in Suffolk in the 1570s which included "tell[ing] what luck eurie one should have by the day of the weeke he was borne on". Nashe thus provides evidence for fortune telling rhymes of this type circulating in Suffolk in the 1570s.[3]
There was considerable variation and debate about the exact attributes of each day and even over the days. Halliwell had 'Christmas Day' instead of the Sabbath.[1] Despite modern versions in which "Wednesday's child is full of woe," an early incarnation of this rhyme appeared in a multi-part fictional story in a chapter appearing in Harper's Weekly on September 17, 1887, in which "Friday's child is full of woe", perhaps reflecting traditional superstitions associated with bad luck on Friday - as many Christians associated Friday with the Crucifixion. In addition to Wednesday's and Friday's children's role reversal, the fates of Thursday's and Saturday's children was also exchanged and Sunday's child is "happy and wise" instead of "blithe and good".[4]"

Some-one will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Sophie Tucker was a Hollywood Hostess, rather than a Movie Star Vic. around the same era as the Gossip Queens Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons.
Very large lady, who gave huge Parties. I believe you had to be "Somebody" to get an invitation to one.
