Oh my, some of these are very interesting. On the common sense request of my sister I have stopped believing in most/all silly superstitions but sometimes I still abide by what my g-ma (grandma) told me. Here are some for yall:
1) If the doorbell rings or if you hear a knock at the door, but when you answer it no one is there well guess what you just let in those darn HAGS (ghost, spirits - good and bad) ;-) in NYC I think we prevent that by not answering our door.
2) If you drop KNIVES or forks (not sure about spoons) see which direction they land. If it is pointing toward you it means something different then if it were pointing away. Dang g-ma would be upset I did not pay attention to that one
3) Cut your hair only when there is a new moon and it will grow, actually a Hispanic friend of mine told me this one.
4) No walking under ladders, don't ask me why, some type of bad luck.
Well, like I said yall have some interesting ones, make me want to start believing again. I stopped because since my sister and I have been following God and the bible more closely some of these things don't make sense any more - doesn't fit in with reality.
