I could barely walk when I came in touch with my first superstition: Do not walk under the ladder.

I recall someone grabbing my waist and pulling me to the side while scolding me for something I didn’t understand: Superstitions.

I had forgotten about it until recently.

One day, when EK was busy, my man came to me and passive-aggressively told me to get his t-shirt washed before the next game.

The day after, he acted up again. Eventually, I washed it, but he had to explain himself beforehand.

The times his team played well were when he wore that specific T-shirt, and he was so stressed about it.

I’m not used to seeing him like this, but it made me think about all the superstitions I grew up with.
