<P> "Rabbit rabbit rabbit" is one variant of a superstition found in Britain and North America that states that a person should say or repeat the word "rabbit" or "rabbits", or "white rabbits", or some combination of these elements, out loud upon waking on the first day of the month, because doing so will ensure good luck for the duration of that month . </P> <P> The exact origin of the superstition is unknown, though it was recorded in Notes and Queries as being said by children in 1909: </P> <P> "My two daughters are in the habit of saying' Rabbits!' on the first day of each month . The word must be spoken aloud, and be the first word said in the month . It brings luck for that month . Other children, I find, use the same formula ." </P>

Where did the saying white rabbits come from
