A Conversation for Superstitions

This may be one of those trans-Atlantic language differences, but I'd never heard the "step on a crick and you'll marry a brick..." saying. I grew up with the disturbing "step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back." Lot of pressure to put on a kid, you know?
But who am I to talk about superstitions? I own a black cat who likes sleeping under the utility ladder (really!).

Where I grew up (Coventry, England), the whole 'step on a crack, break your mother's back' thing wasn't a superstition. It was just something kids used to say / do. Nobody really believed it.
