Rabbit...Rabbit...Rabbit

It is the first of the month. I wake early, before anyone in the house. I always do that. I quietly get myself showered and make the kids' lunches for the day. I wait in silence for when my husband awakes. I do not want to be mean and wake him too early. I hear him sneaking down the stairs as I brush my teeth. I think he thinks I do not hear him, but I do. I wait, turn around and we simultaneously say rabbit rabbit rabbit. My parents did this all the time. I do not know why I introduced this to our marriage, but I loved watching my parents battle as to who would say it first to the other. It was fun to watch and now it is fun to participate. This month we had a tie. I guess we will have to share the good luck this month. I really was not sure about the history until I did a search this evening. I found several links, but sadly, Wiki had what everybody else said in one easy to read spot. I included a link to the origin of the saying...rabbit,rabbit, rabbit

Carrie, I am so glad you decided to share this site. You spoke of it over the summer while we biked. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading.
