Marietta's Rabbitings

My dad's family grew up saying 'rabbits' just once on the first day of the month for good luck that month. It didn't have to be the first thing out of your mouth, but you had to be the first person in the household to say it. When I grew up my dad had changed it to 'bunnies', why I don't know, so I try to beat whomever I'm living with at saying bunnies before they say it every month.
