Rabbit Rabbit
I was up early this morning, and saw two or three random posts on twitter that said something like “rabbit rabbit.” I was struck by this phrase, and found it odd that several random/unrelated people I follow on Twitter were all saying this.
A quick search later, I found that uttering the phrase “rabbit rabbit” is meant to bring you luck, if uttered at the start of the month.
A few other variations I read about involve making a wish on the last night of the month, coupled with uttering “rabbit rabbit” upon waking.
How is it that I’ve gone this long without ever knowing such a thing existed? Today was literally the first time I’ve ever heard this, and I’ve been living with rabbits since 2007. Absolutely clueless about this ritual/superstition until now.
I guess we do count ourselves lucky, with Daisy and Phineas bopping around the house.
Rabbit rabbit.

Similarly – did you know that saying “I hate rabbits” around a campfire will cause the smoke to blow in a different direction? Did that when I was a kid, and seemed to work.
Checked google, and it seems I’m wasn’t the only kid that heard this:
