The local news channel had a feature every Wednesday called
'Wednesday's Child' spotlighting a handicapped orphan kid and his or
her achievements and struggles. Is was heartwarming and touching. The
point was to help the kid get adopted but all my brother and I got
out of it was handicapped kids were being called Wednesday’s child.
We took that and ran with it and would call my sister or anyone we
wanted to insult a Wednesday's child. Then we would sing the theme
song in a mock speech impediment, “Wess-dayss chil' is fuw ov wuv.”
I don't know why it was so funny to us but it killed in the eight to
ten year old Gause boy demographic, absolutely killed.
