When the robins come in the spring it has to snow 3 times on them before it will stop snowing for the winter.
Have to have 3 sugar snow before winter is over. Sugar snow is snow that stick to every thing.

I have lots and lots, my mother was very superstitious, never let a black cat cross you path or its bad luck. If you are walking with someone and you let anything come between you and that person(like a pole, or fence post etc.) you have to say bread and butter or you will get into a fight. My husband always comes around the pole or what ever would be separating us when we are walking.. Also if a bird flies in the house and lands on the bed, whose ever side it lights on will die. Geez!

Every stitch you sew on a Sunday you will have to take out with your nose in heaven.

Most of the ones I can think of have already been posted, but here are a few.

If you cross your eyes or stick out your tongue, you'll get stuck that way.

You're not supposed to take a bath during your period because it'll make it stop. (??) However, taking a shower is okay. (Heck, I would've sat in the bathtub all day if it really worked! ROFL!)

If you hear a dove, it's going to rain soon.

If you hear an owl, a loved one is going to pass away soon.

If you find a penny, pick it up. It's supposed to be lucky. There was a second part that said if "heads" was showing it meant one thing, and if "tails" was showing, it meant something else, but I don't remember the rest of it.

If you swallow a watermelon seed, a watermelon will grow in your stomach!

If you eat carrots, you'll be able to see in the dark.

If you break a mirror you'll have 7 years of bad luck. Never thank someone for handing you scissors or anything sharp. If your right ear is ringing, someone is talking kindly about you. If it's the left ear, someone is talking badly about you.
