My daughters are not going to be happy when they read this. They may start looking for a good nursing home to put me in.
We have anywhere from 6-8 regulars at our Bingo table and tonight I made note of the silly things we do to promote good luck. We ALL have little items we talk to, rub, and place in front of our cards. A few of us hand our good luck charm around for others to rub, too. One of the ladies who insisted on rubbing my charm sometimes rubbed it on her butt.
A fairly new habit we've gotten into began about a month ago when one of the men who wins habitually came over to our table to gloat and I rubbed his head for good luck. Not to be outdone, Sylvia rubbed his tummy and that's been one of the spots we head every Bingo night. I have no idea what some of the people in the hall think when they see 2 or 3 ladies of impeccable reputation trot over to this man's table and rub his head and stomach. He grins from ear to ear as we do it. He's a good friend who is ready and willing to join in the ritual while we all have a laugh. If we forget, he shows up at our table pretty quick!!
Do we really believe all this stuff will bring us luck? Not on a bet! We do it for the fun of it. And that's all that matters.

As long as the rubbing remains above the navel, it's all good to me. (you asked for it!!!)
Honey, we're old. We only remember what's below the navel if it leaks.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! LOL
