I’m sorry I decided to look this up…beyond belief… I am so hoping the ones from Woolworth’s were fake ones.
I can’t believe that the rabbits feet we had were REAL…
“First of all, they were genuine rabbits’ feet.
I LOVED rabbits.
Why would I ever want to carry their foot around
on a little metal ball link key chain?
I’m not sure.
Secondly, the feet were dyed very unnatural colors
like turquoise, purple, emerald green and blood . . .
I mean, bright red.
Third, when you reached down
to stroke your lucky foot
to give you some of that good luck,
you could feel the poor,
dead rabbit’s toenails.

And WHY would my parents get me one ?
I was so sure they weren’t real back in the day.

“R” is for Lucky Rabbit’s Foot
.
Did you ever have…
and
why did our parents let us
carry a lucky rabbit’s foot
creating superstitious thinking
in our tender minds?
.
I can remember being in grade school
and it was “The Thing” to carry
a lucky rabbit’s foot key chain.
.
Somewhere, somehow,
I found out that it was
supposedly a REAL rabbit’s foot !
In particular, the left hind foot !
ewwww !
.
I’m sure that I had
a faux rabbit’s foot keychain
bought at my dad’s
F.W. Woolworth Store.
.
But at the time, I was SURE some poor
rabbit, sacrificed his life, on a full moon,
in a cemetery,
on Friday the 13 th.
.
Superstitious?
Nah.
Well, maybe…Where’s your rabbit foot
you got in grade school hiding?
