FYI

Though it sounds a bit like gibberish, the phrase rabbit rabbit is a long-held superstition thought to bring about good luck. But it’s not to be uttered just any old random day. Rather, if you say it on the first day of the month before any other words come out of your mouth, then luck is thought to be coaxed your way.

There are a few twists on this tradition. Some people say rabbit three times, while others say the phrase white rabbit.

What if you forget to rabbit? (Yes, we’re going to go ahead and use rabbit as a verb here.) Are you just out of luck? Nope, according to some, if you say “rabbit rabbit” backwards, you’re safe. So, if you ask for coffee before you remember rabbits, then tibbar, tibbar it is.

~My philosophy: Dogs are God's most perfect creatures. Angels, here on Earth, who teach us to be better human beings.~

I've been saying it since around 2nd grade, too. My husband says it now too. If he's out before I wake up he'll send a 🐇🐇 text. I have everyone saying it. I taught my parakeet to say it too but he said it almost every day of the month...

I've never heard of this, but hope it brings everyone good luck this month.

@Lucky Charm I LOVED your comment about your parakeet!

He/she just needs a calendar, that's all!

Too funny!

No I never heard of it. Which is good since I usually don't know what the date is.

That's hilariuos.We began that when our older son picked it up from an elementary school teacher. Gilda Radner wrote an autobiography and called it "Bunny Bunny" a variation of it.
