The child that's born on the sabbath day
is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

LOLbender.

i always thought i was born on a thursday
"far to go" sounded so much more exciting than all the others. in fact there are even kids' books called "thursday's child" and "far to go" about an exotic orphan. only my grandma ruined my childish dreams of oscars and astronauts and mysterious royal parents by insisting that SHE remembered it was a friday, oh yes SHE did...

then the internet came along. bloody grandma was right all along. "loving and giving". loving and fucking giving. so basically a doormat then? thanks cosmos. thanks a lot.

I don't think womens magazines had anything to do with this rhyme.

Can't be Cosmo
I can't see any reference to keeping "your man" happy or how "your man" is a cheating scumbag anywhere in that rhyme.

what part of "loving and giving" are you not getting?
and "fair of face". for the shallow.

Seems more like Woman's Weekly's schtick, to me.
Possibly Good Housekeeping.

Could be worse
I'm a Friday's child too, it seems my loving and giving seems to entirely go on tubsters.
