I'm not superstitious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-superstitions-do-you-follow#post-72483 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:11:49 +0000 mrsjazz 72483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and when I was younger and was mad at my mom I used to try and step on every crack in the street! HAHA. I was kind of evil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-superstitions-do-you-follow#post-72478 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:10:20 +0000 mrsjazz 72478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My biggest one is that I don't split poles when walking down the street with family. "Split the pole, split the family." If you do split the pole then you have to say a pair out loud--I usually say "peanut butter and jelly" or "peas and carrots." </p> <p>I knock on wood.<br /> I never put a hat on the bed.<br /> Before I was engaged/married, I never let anyone who was sweeping sweep over my feet because if you let them it means you wouldn't be geting married.<br /> I pick up a penny on the ground only if it's heads.</p> <p>Wow. I never realized how superstitious I am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-superstitions-do-you-follow#post-72463 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:59:56 +0000 banana 72463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Share a pear? How interesting! My best friend is Chinese so I'm gonna ask her about that one. I don't really have any superstitions but my husband has a ton of them related to sports. He always blames me if his favorite team loses because I did something to jinx them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-superstitions-do-you-follow#post-72460 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:57:11 +0000 mediagirl 72460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never walk under an open ladder or open an umbrella inside the house. Black cats don't bother me, probably because I had one! :) Oh, I'm also super careful of mirrors, don't want to break one of those.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-superstitions-do-you-follow#post-72452 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:53:19 +0000 MamaMoose 72452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knock on wood. I also have a weird thing about planes that I really like to touch the outside of the plane before I get on. For some reason that comforts me. I fly all the time but I have been one two planes that were hit with lightening and had an engine fail on a prop plane out of the bahamas so I'm a nervous flier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-superstitions-do-you-follow#post-72445 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:47:56 +0000 Andrea 72445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never share pears with anyone (anyone I like anyway) because to say "share a pear" in Chinese sounds like "to separate". So I wouldn't want to separate with DH, LO, or my parents so we never share pears. </p> <p>DH loves to "knock on wood" and it drives me nuts. That one is a pet peeve of mine! </p>
