Thanksgiving Superstitions

When I think about Thanksgiving I think about food, naps, family, and time outdoors. I don't think about superstitions, but evidently there are some. Here are a few that you may believe in.
- Before putting the turkey in the oven, you are supposed to knock 3 times on a wooden board and the meat will taste succulent.
- pulling the wishbone and the person with the longer end will have their wish come true.
- If you eat a child's turkey leftovers then it will make a boy naughty and a girl cry.
- Turkey at Thanksgiving was not invented by the "Farmers' Market". Of course, it was William Bradford and his 'History Of Plymouth Plantation' that established the tradition of turkey at Thanksgiving.
