There's a tradition in my culture, when a baby is about 1 y.o., s/he will have to choose one of some item the parents put in front of the baby. S/he will be put about 2 metres from those stuff, and the baby will have to crawl then pick one. The stuff s/he picks is trusted to symbolize what the baby will become later. It's a fun tradition, actually.
The stuff are commonly consist of: a book (means the baby will be a smart person), a pencil (the baby will be a dilligent & smart person), a coin (rich, hardworking one) and an egg (unfortunately, the baby will score egg in his/her lifetime).
I picked a book, back then.
My younger sister once was about to pick the egg, but my mom quickly led her to choose another. She took coin instead. My mom was relieved.
