Not superstitious, but I've caught myself holding my breath driving past a cemetery before. I guess some childhood quirks are hard to shake.

I also like black cats, but figured answering the question directly was more important. Did you know that black cats are historically the last to get adopted from shelters? Glad I was able to convince my Mom to adopt one. smile smile

I had three black cats at one time. They were identical siblings. My mom always said black cats are the cleanest.

Hmmmm, my Mama always said black cats are the Devil...

IMO superstitions are just plain silly. I hope I never become superstitious. ::knocks on wood::

I'm not superstitious. I'm just regularstitious. wink

Actually, I'm not superstitious at all, and I kind of am always shocked when someone is. My sister-in-law HAS to throw salt over her shoulder and spit three times if someone accidentally spills the salt at dinner because she GENUINELY believes something bad will happen if she doesn't. I don't get that... very strange to me, but I try not to judge... I just laugh silently inside my own head.

::Like::

We do the same thing for our son. Since his actual birthday is 12/23 we wanted to have a celebration separate from the Christmas season and settled on celebrating his adoption finalization.

Normally I'm not superstitious at all. I have a black cat, and I roll my eyes at my Aunt with her tons of crazy ideas (she thinks the world is over if I put shoes on the bed, and she wouldn't go to my or my nephew's baby showers - almost had a heart attack when we set up the cribs before the babies were here...) Every once in a while I'll do something like fingers crossed or a last kiss "for luck," but I'm mostly being goofy (and if it works, then Yay!)
