Don't forget to rabbit rabbit ... tomorrow's April 1

4 years ago

If the first words out of your mouth on the first day of the month are "rabbit rabbit" you'll have good luck all month long. Any time after midnight is fine, and no need to say it to anyone.

Good luck everyone!

Of course I always wondered if on April Fool's day one should say tibbar tibbar instead...

Dang. I think I may be responsible for all this craziness. I forgot to rabbit, rabbit on March 1st.

Thanks for the reminder, Annie! I am a logical scientist, but can quite happily set that aside for the occasional superstitious belief.

My grandkids are having fun this morning with this. I text reminded them last night. This morning, they are having fun group texting about it. One forgot to say it first thing, so she is hoping that reciting rabbit 4x will salvage some good luck. I wonder if my daughters, their mothers, are participating or smiling and rolling their eyes about Grandma.

I didn't remember until up and reading this, but DH was still asleep and I hadn't spoken yet. Said my rabbit, rabbit. I should be good for this month too - this a few months in a row I've somehow managed ;0)

Oh dear, I blew it, kind of. When I was on the big island, I took a piece of lava rock home with me and then all sorts of terrible ills befell my family one after the other, broken bones, surgeries and so on. So then I started saying "Pele Pele Rabbit Rabbit" and the ills went away. So ever since then, I say "Pele Pele Rabbit Rabbit". But this a.m. I screwed up and said Rabbit Rabbit...then Pele Pele...hope she doesn't seek revenge on me this month!!

Said it about 1:00 a.m. My granddaughter and her husband said it too. They went to the hospital around midnight to check in. Today is her due date to give birth, the doctor decided they needed to induce labor because the baby is already so large. Granddaughter said she and her husband both said it at 12:01 a.m.

LOL Terriks I was going to post the same thing.

I don't know if there is any published research on its efficacy, but, sorry to say Annie, I am having my doubts about this approach.

The one time I said it, my beloved dog died two days later. Normally the first thing I do every day is baby-talk my dogs. I’m sticking to that!

I keep forgetting to do this. And although I am quarantined alone (except for the cats and the chickens) I do have a habit of talking to myself.

And THIS one would have been so good to have done "rabbit rabbit" for!

I said it just after midnight. Had to go to the mini-Target to pick up an Rx. Cruised through the grocery section just for grins. Lo and behold, they had active dry yeast, which I haven't been able to find anywhere. I'll count that as a win for rabbit rabbit!

Hey Nicole... I still have the purple patio furniture but it seriously needs your magic touch! Sandblasting and repainting. I’m still making bread... mountain here is a picture of a Pullman loaf. I‘ve been perfecting it recently. We have had our 28 month old and 6 month old grands for almost 3 weeks our daughter was finally able to come here to VA yesterday and will stay till this “ all” over. Good to “ see” everyone.
