I admit, I totally follow the one not to put your purse on the floor. I cringe if someone takes my purse and puts it on the floor! I can’t say I won’t shower while sick, but I may just give second thoughts to hats on the bed now LOL.

My nonna actually got upset with me once because I wouldn’t eat (not even a taste) of something she had offered me. She was so concerned about the baby!!

Are you Italian? I remember when we used to visit Italy in the summer. Whenever we ate at the beach my cousins would have to wait at least 2 hours before going into the water…and we just jumped right in, lol!

Where are you from? I’m always interested to learn about the superstitions of other cultures…
