Do you say some variation of "Rabbit, Rabbit" at the beginning of each month? I do! (err...when I remember.) For a brief history of the practice visit this link to Wikipedia (Wikipedia! When you don't need to know anything more than the other guy!) Apparently it's a British tradition that is especially common in Massachusetts. What I want to know is, who first told me about this, and more importantly why? It's kind of a fun idea but when you're five and six it's also pretty scary, especially since I always felt like it was an urgent talisman against bad luck as much as it was an easy-to-miss one-shot-chance at good luck; a lose/lose situation for a forgetful child.My original idea was draw both a very cartoon-style rabbit and a more realistic one, but that didn't look right so I ended up with two fairly realistic rabbits of two seemingly different breeds. I didn't say "Rabbit Rabbit" this morning, so perhaps it's just my luck (and lack thereof.)
