Did you have any superstitions?

Well I don't consider myself as ever having any but I did find myself never intentionally stepping on a crack since that "would break your mother's back". (Don't step on a crack or you will break your mother's back.) It was an old saying that I have no idea of where it's origin came from nor do I really care but it was a part of me from something. It is the only one I was ever told that seemed to stick in my memory. Mom never had a broken back so I must have done OK.
I suppose I did participate in other superstitions because as I think about it "I try not to walk under a ladder, I don't consider black cats bad since I can always find some white on them somewhere, and I do knock on wood once in a while. However Friday the 13th is never an unlucky day because of having a birthday that often falls on a friday the 13th. It is a great day for me.
