Have you ever looked at the clock when it said eleven: eleven and made a wish? I am sure that many of people celebrated 11/11/11 but everyone celebrated in a different way. Many people probably did something special for 11:11 11/11/11, but a lot of people celebrated it the whole entire day. I would fall into the category that celebrated it from 11:11 am, to 11:11 at pm. That first thing that we did was make a list of eleven things that we wanted to do on this special day. Our list included the following:
1. Eleven jumping jacks at 11:11
2. Eleven pictures of eleven people
3. Kiss eleven friends on the check
4. Eleven cookies to eleven strangers (one to each stranger)
5. Eleven prank calls
6. Eleven laps around the house(in the snow with bare feet and no coat)
7. Make an elven ingredient meal
8. Eleven minute soccer game
9. Try eleven ice cream flavors
10. Eleven laps in a pool
11. Order eleven donuts
We did every one of these things on Friday. The very first one was accomplished at exactly 11:11 am. Everyone got up and went to the hall by Mrs. Corry’s room and Mr. Thompsons room at did them together, except for me, I just stood up in computer tech and did them right in the middle of class! I must admit, it was a little embarrassing. All the rest of them were spread out through the rest of the day, we didn’t really do them in order.
A couple of them we even ran out of time for. The eleven ingredient meal ended up just being little Cesar’s pizza that we found eleven ingredients in. We were counting things like tomatoes, milk, seasoning, pepperonis and many other things until we had exactly eleven ingredients. We still counted this one as checked off anyways though.
The other one that we had a little trouble with was number six, considering that all the snow had melted. We really had to improvise. We just had to pretend that there was snow on the ground, and we had to pretend that we were really cold. It didn’t work out so well but we had to get it checked off somehow!
Many people believe that if you make a wish on 11:11 then it will come true. I once heard a quote that said “dear eyelashes, wishbones, dandelions, pennies, shooting starts, 11:11 and birthday candles do your job.” I really liked this quote because many people do believe that eleven: eleven is really the best time to make a wish. This only works when you just happen to look at the clock at this time, not if you are always waiting for it.
If so many people make wishes at 11:11, it would make sense that on 11.11.11 at 11:11 that you could make a really big wish. I think this is the main reason that this day was such a big deal. Another reason why
