My father-in-law does it all the time (actually while I vacuum), and he's just fine! ;-)<br /><br />Love all the comment love on this one.

Since I married the first time post-50, I'm not sure how to gauge the effectiveness of that one. But I think it's the only one my mother told me about, except for breaking the mirror. I do toss spilled salt over my shoulder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-60312717497980703762011-11-13T15:56:58.302-05:002011-11-13T15:56:58.302-05:00Jackie, Thanks for stopping by!

The one where you say, "Don't Step on a crack or you'll break your mother's back," is obvious." But I never knew the origins of "Bread and butter." I just say it when the time is right. So thanks for the lesson. I'm guessing you call out "Jinx!" as well, right? ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505661913107994459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-62923357039275788952011-11-12T21:16:04.190-05:002011-11-12T21:16:04.190-05:00Claire, Julie & Kate-Thanks so much for droppi...Claire, Julie & Kate-Thanks so much for dropping by and commenting.<br /><br />After yesterday's post, I kept thinking more and more and realized how many things I do without thinking.<br /><br />I'm still a bit ticked off by the train track thing. I may have to come up with a better story for that one to pass down to my girls. ;-)<br /><br />Claire, never heard of the One for Sorrow superstition. Interesting.<br /><br />And, yes, Julie... OCD is a passed down trait, too. ;-)<br /><br />Kate, always love seeing you visit!Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-29674891964743378352011-11-12T21:10:16.387-05:002011-11-12T21:10:16.387-05:00Oh Tia, I'm just CRACKING UP over your post!!!...Oh Tia, I'm just CRACKING UP over your post!!!

You...Wow, superstitions mirror OCD a little. ;)<br /><br />You'll need to be careful if you hang out with me, Tia. I've owned several black cats. I think nothing of breaking mirrors. I step on cracks with no problem. Then again, maybe that explains that time when . . .Julie Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750682989494250914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-2459442687001298082011-11-12T16:59:48.472-05:002011-11-12T16:59:48.472-05:00LOL your mum has a lot to answer for!

I still find it difficult to walk under ladders, and when I see one magpie (this may just be an English bird as I haven't seen any in California) I say "One for Luck and lots of money" under my breath to counteract the 'One for Sorrow' superstition!Claire Hennessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576410137759875223noreply@blogger.com
