Rabbit Rabbit

Basically, when i was in second grade, my second grade teacher told us this story about how to get good luck at the beginning of every month. Basically, when you wake up on the first of every month you say rabbit rabbit when you first wake up, on the first day of the month, in order to ensure you have good luck for the rest of the month.

Rabbit rabbit is a common superstition that seems to originate with one child in the UK saying the phrase in front of the chimney in hopes of getting a gift. it may have been inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. (see https://www.farmersalmanac.com/rabbit-rabbit-35150 )
