Superstitions

  Author: 23072  Category:(Discussion) Created:(1/29/2001 1:20:00 PM)

I was just reading posting about superstitions associated with crows and got to thinking about some of the things my grandmother used to come out with reguarding superstitions. She used to tell me never to rock an empty rocking chair, never put shoes on a table, never walk under a weeping willow tree, etc. What supersitions did you all grow up hearing?
