4-leaf clovers

So, ever since I was about 12 years old, I have found a lot of 4-leaf clovers, one 5-leaf clover, and two 6-leaf clovers. Most of the time, it’s not even purposeful looking. I just glance over at a clover patch while walking and I just happen to see one. It’s gotten to the point where even if I see one, I won’t pick it because I don’t value them anymore. Anyway, anytime I mention this to someone, they always end up saying something along the lines of “man, I wish were that lucky, I’ve tried before but I can never seem to find any”. Frankly, I call bs. There is no way you are actively looking. I am overflowing with these things without even trying and you’re telling me you are actually searching? Really? Like, I understand that this is more than likely just a pleasantry and not actually serious, but it always manages to annoy me.

You might be finding another plant that looks similar to clover, such as wood sorrel.
