Superstitions

We're already one month into 2006 and I got to thinking about a superstition I honor more from habit than belief.

Mrs. Cupps, my third grade teacher, told us that we would have good luck all month if the first word we said that month was "rabbit." She didn't know why that particular word was supposed to be lucky, but figured it had to do with the rabbit's foot charm.

Anyway, ever since I've tried to start a new month with "rabbit." I figure I remember it in time for about half the months. Tomorrow, I'll try again.
