Surely many have heard of this sign: if during a meal a person drops some cutlery on the floor, then guests should be expected.
But what kind of person’s visit should you be prepared for?
According to popular belief, it depends on what specific cutlery you failed to hold in your hands.
It's one thing if a spoon ends up on the floor. And it's a completely different matter if it's a fork.
Teaspoon
It is believed that if this cutlery falls, then a child will soon become a guest.
Perhaps this is a friend of the son/daughter of the owner of the house.
Tablespoon
According to the signs, if this cutlery falls, then a woman will soon come to the house.
Moreover, we are talking about a good person. Therefore, all household members will be glad to have such a guest.
Fork
According to legend, in this case the guest will also be a representative of the fair sex.
But this time it's unlikely to be about a nice person. Perhaps the guest will bring some not so good news.
Knife
But if there is a sharp cutlery on the floor, then, according to belief, the guest will be a member of the stronger sex.
