Did everyone say "rabbit" when they got up this morning...?

[First Speaker]

...we've said "rabbit" the morning of the first of the month in our family forever. My Mom did it, her grandmother did, and *her* grandmother did...we are--on my maternal side--very old CT Yankees, and I learned recently that saying rabbit is an old English custom that transplanted itself here. I still do it--ahem--religiously... (And please--no atheist trolls, OK? I'm kidding...) It brings you luck...and *not* doing it brings you bad luck. Of course, as a good child of the Enlightenment, I don't take this seriously. Still--you never know...

1. Better to be safe than sorry!

I've never heard of the custom though.

[lovemydog]

2. I said the same thing I say every morning...

cooooffffffffeeeeeee.

[surrealAmerican]

6. so did I, but ...

... I always say, "alright, I'll feed you".

The dogs wake me.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Never heard of the custom.

Anyhow, I say pretty much the same thing every morning: "Oh, hell..." or sometimes, "Cat, get off my face!"

[swimboy]

4. I said it twice!

Rabbit, rabbit.

Just about every month.

[Generic Brad]

5. Is that a thing?

Really? I have never heard of that thing.

But then again, I scream aloud every time I go over a bridge or through a tunnel just for kicks.

[Dont call me Shirley]

7. What a cool tradition! Keep it going!

[LiberalElite]

8. No. Never heard of saying "rabbit" on the

a.m.of the first of the month. THAT must be the reason why I'm not rich and famous. Yeah, that's it - "rabbit"

[station001]

9. I'm more of a

dissatisfied groan at my alarm clock kinda person

[pinboy3niner]

10. I said "Wascally Wabbit!"

But only because I was going hunting.

[ms liberty]

11. Trixie Belden always did!

Does anybody know who Trixie Belden is?

[First Speaker]

12. I was in love with her when I was twelve!

...I don't remember the "rabbit" part, though...:-/
