It's almost time for white rabbits, everyone!
This is how it works. The first thing you should do -- on the first morning of each month -- is say "white rabbits" out loud. You have to say it before you say anything else (common mistakes: saying "urgghghh" or "must-brush-teeth" first.) Saying "white rabbits" out loud will bring you luck for the rest of the month.
My family has been doing this for as long as I can remember. I always thought that this was a game my mother had invented, as no other families seemed to call out for rabbits at the beginning of the month. But it is, apparently, quite common among English schoolchildren. Some families say "hare" before they go to bed and "rabbits" in the morning. more
