For me it was "See a penny, pick it up..."

It's only because of such a time-honoured and wise admonition that I'd ever stoop to snatching up loose change whenever I spot it

My Mom would go spare if you put an umbrella up inside the house....I have no idea why....does anybody know?

Goodness....she was so superstitious......I don't know how she managed!

Re: Black cats.......growing up in England, I always believed that black cats are good luck.....in fact when I got married to the first Mr Indi in England...my sister was out early in the morning looking for a black cat to cross my path on my wedding day.......the best of luck.
But then I came to America and discovered that black cats are bad luck....how sad!

Indi.....who doesn't have a superstitious bone in her body....mirrors broken here..no prob

When we were kids and if we came back to the house because we forgot something - my Mum wouldn't let us leave the house again without sitting down first .... because it was unlucky !

which was a pain in the tush if you were in the middle of a game or something or had to catch the bus !! 

Oh ! and don't look at a full moon through a window !!

[quote ] and don't look at a full moon through a window !! 

What?........I would never dream of such a thing!

Just rattle all your money Girl and it will double - only thing is ... by the time the full moon comes around I'm broke !!
