Secretly believing in the magical power of the number 777.

My church tags our kids like whales when we drop them off at Sunday School

They might not use radio frequency ear tags, but when you give them your kid, they give you a laminated number and immediately attach that same number to the back of their shirt. Then, you sit in church and hope your number doesn't come up, thus signifying you are the winner of the "horrible kid lottery."

Yesterday though I looked at my number and got pretty excited. Why?

My daughter L.E.'s number was 7177.
