Arrgghh - you can see them quite clearly, one swirl going clockwise and the other counter-clockwise!, originally uploaded by Camemberu.
OMG! Jolie has the dreaded double crown, two swirl patterns on her head. Asians believe this signifies a particularly naughty brat. I didn't check Jolie's head earlier because I so *rarely* see these on anyone! Now I'm almost fainting because my firstborn Nadine (of regular single crown signifying placid nature) is already so incredibly naughty...I can't imagine Jolie being worse!
We wanted Nadine's sibling to be someone she can learn from - it's said the best gift you can give a child with Down Syndrome is a sibling - they pick up skills and speech much faster that way. I'm hoping the Asian belief about the double crown is inaccurate, or else it will be triple hell when Nadine starts copying more naughty behaviour from her sister!
Interestingly, Westerners believe the double crown signifies a traveler (ah, will Jolie be like the other Sagittarians I know who are all free-spirited wanderers?). Hairdressers believe the double crown is a styling nightmare - hair tends to stand straight up and is difficult to comb or part neatly. So it's either long locks or the buzz cut. Do you know anyone else who has the double crown?
well naughty is ok... i like my child to be naughty though... haha
ReplyDeleteMy partner has a double crown and he is incredibly mischievious! He was very, very naughty as a kid and he hasn't improved even when he's almost 35!
ReplyDeletei have the double crown, and im okay! (i think) :)
ReplyDelete-Xinni
My daughter has 2 crowns, one in front and one on the top of her head. She's ok, not so naughty but very active. My husband has 2 crowns like your daughter and is very naughty. My next door neighbour's son has 2 crowns and he's v quiet. It's a myth la :)
ReplyDeletemy bro has 2, and he's very nice.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about crowns and I guess a gold one would be nice :) Tell your hubby you deserve one!
ReplyDeleteWas wondering if you'd be resting up this year or will you be doing some CNY preparations? Would love to hear about where or what you get/cook for the CNY feasts and foods if you do.
Ooh so many with double crowns and not all are naughty! There is some hope after all!
ReplyDeleteOcha: Hmm, I don't normally cook for CNY as we mostly go back to Malaysia to celebrate with my folks there. My hubby is Eurasian, so we celebrate Xmas at home in Singapore, and then CNY in Malaysia.
Actually I'm quite glad to be spared of the massive CNY cooking dilemma! Even my parents just do a steamboat dinner for convenience!
That's great, your folks get to dote on one more kid :) and you get to dine on 家乡 stuff!
ReplyDeletei hate to say that but, people with double crowns are very temperamental and hot tempered.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of them, haha. But, all's well. Haha! i think i'm okay too :p
Oh, this I have to disagree. My partner is pretty good natured and he has never lost his temper at me. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I had double crown too... relatives keep saying haveing double crown means naughty, but I don't think I am...
ReplyDeletei have heard its the mark of a genius and very lucky!My 8 month old son has a double crown and all the sweet old ladies say he brings good luck xxx
ReplyDeleteReally? A genius? COOL! The naughty bit is certainly coming true. I hope good luck will come along too! Congratulations on your son!
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence. My elder one has one crown and the younger one has two also. The older one is more of a handful than the younger sister though. Heh
ReplyDeleteWow, Rachel, your second child too? Ah, my kids now take turns to be naughty.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a double crown also. And they join to meet in the middle, so it looks like a horseshoe.
ReplyDeleteI'd say the mischief thing is probably true, though I regard myself as an eccentric more than anything.
I also have a theory that a double crown suggests that somewhere along the line in gestation, the child was on the point of becoming two people.....
Oh the unmistakable fury of the double crown! Just like my Jolie!
ReplyDeleteOK, joshing aside, I must say I am sad to see you take offence. I can tell you must have been frustrated and probably hurt many times by what people think of the double crown.
But here's the truth: I'm secretly proud of the fact that Jolie has the double crown and whatever traits it's rumoured to signal. Why else would I be showing it off to everyone online? If you couldn't see through the mock dismay, I'm sorry. Perhaps the genius rumour is not true after all.
Btw, people who have degrees in biochem and going into medicine = geniuses??
hello Camemberu,
ReplyDeletei love your posts where you share more about your lovely daughters! someone i once dated has a double crown- a rakish englishman, and definitely true about the wandering traveller bit! i'm not so sure it means naughtiness thou- the main problem is hair styling so YAY that jolie is a girl!
:)
be well!
i have a double crown. it's the most annoying thing ever when trying to have a hairstyle. always leaves a v shape at the fringe lol. i guess if it makes you bad or a genius is just down to superstitious beliefs... but i have been described as both so mabey...
