Mention of saying white rabbits’ three times made me smile. I used to tell my husband we had to say ‘white rabbits’ three times as soon as we woke up on a Friday the 13th to ward off bad luck. One New Year’s Day he went outside for the newspaper and when he came back in I said that as he was the first person over the doorstep on New Year’s Day he had better bring the New Year in and so what was he going to say. I meant of course the ‘good health, wealth’ and so on. He immediately said ‘white rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits’. When I told him what he should have said, he replied that at least he’d covered all the Friday the 13t’s for the year. I did hear him mutter something about I must have made him as crazy as I was, but I let that go..
