May Day or M'aider - Veggie - 01-05-2023
What did you shout this morning when you looked at your garden?
"May Day" the first day of summer, or M'aider, "Help me".
Just curious

The first thing I say on the first of every month is white bunny rabbits.
You weren’t expecting that, we’re you

Wow thank you. Lots of thing have just fallen into place reading that. My grandads brother was in the RAF . So I’m guessing it came from that. That’s great.

I've heard people say White Rabbits but not "Bunny Rabbits". I think your Granddad may have been amusing you.

He had a wicked sense of humour. I think I was also quite young when he told me as well

I was taught to say "White rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits" but only for months with a "R" in them, so May wouldn't count. Good job too, as I only realised it was the 1st of May this evening!
