WHITE RABBIT!


For as long as I can remember, on the first of every month, our family has "competed" to see who can say "white rabbit" first! I am very good at it! (unfortunately, my mom got me today) Today, I looked up some theories online about where this came from...

1. military tradition:the first person to say it on the first of the month has good luck or a gets a free drink
2. superstition from Europe originating from hunter-gatherer traditions...if you first caught a rabbit in your trap that meant other small animals would follow-hence the good luck

other ways people say it...rabbit rabbit rabbit; white rabbit white rabbit white rabbit; rabbits; rabbits rabbits

I am just going to say that it's good luck and a fun competition!

ps--I used to have a white rabbit. I got her on halloween and named her 'Punkin'
