Counting on you.

  Why is it that every one tells me, “We can count on you.”  and they never actually do.  They may rely on me, have trust in me, or even depend on me.  No one ever really counts on me.  I expect a numerologist might though.  Incidentally the phrase “You can count on me.” has its origins in an old story about a Hen that counted her chickens before they hatched.  She had faith that all of her eggs would hatch into chicks.  That was as far as I read so I don’t know how all that turned out for her, got my fingers crossed for her hoping for the best.
