Actually, it can be considered a curse or a blessing, depending on the situation. It refers to the fact that the family members on the "Davey" side of my family always look a lot younger than they really are. My cousins and I always called it a curse when we were teenagers, because we wanted to look older. Now that I'm a grown woman in my thirties, I'm starting to see it as a blessing.
Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat so evil, I couldn't swallow. It was accompanied by a splitting headache and a fever over 100 degrees. I've experienced those symptoms enough in my life to know that it was strep.
I went to the walk-in clinic and saw a doc whom I did not know. The horrible, gagging, swab test was positive, so he gave me a prescription for antibiotics.
Then he said, "Do you need a note for school?". I resisted the urge to laugh outloud, and instead answered "no", and left it at that. Now, if he was referring to college kind of school I will consider the Davey Curse a blessing. If he was referring to high school, It is most definitely a curse!
On a side note, they say that strep throat can be triggered by stress. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact I was called to be the Relief Society president at church two weeks ago? Maybe, but believe it or not, I am actually excited about this calling now, even though I was scared out of my mind at first.
Oh, and Julie P. wins the non-existent prize (other than praise on my blog) for guessing closest to my vacation destination last week. She guessed Tampa area, and we were about forty minutes outside of Tampa at Clearwater Beach, Florida. Good job Julie!

Sorry you've been sick. Congratulations on the calling! You'll make a great R.S. pres.
Oh no! I hope that you are feeling better. I also hope that you can get rid of it before anyone in your house want you to share with them.
At least you didn't get sick while you were away with your honey in Florida.
Oh wow, He was definitely talking about High School because why would you need a note for college. That is awesome, haha. I used to hate it when people would think I was a teenager, now NO ONE mistakes me for a teenager, which is good (but a little sad, ha.) I so know what you mean about being scared to death but then excited. I was called to be Primary Pres. a few weeks ago. My first thought, "Well, I guess it's time for me to grow up now."
okay... funny thing is, I made that last comment without reading your post below (where you basically say the EXACT same thing!) I should feel silly, but I flatter myself in thinking that we think alike :)
PS. Isn't it an unwritten rule that people who look like teenagers shouldn't be called as RS President? Doesn't God know that?
You will do an EXCELLENT job, btw.
That is too funny!
