Hi ya all,
Since I had so much success and responses with the "Funny Dominican Dichos" thread, I thought we could all have some fun while learning about another subject ... customs and superstitions.
Allow me to provide an example and then you all can "take it away".
It is my understanding that some parents in the DR hang a baseball glove on the crib of a newborn baby boy as a good luck charm because they wish him to become a great baseball player. (Wish I had thought of this, my 12 year old can throw great but he stinks at catching balls! - MLB material he is not!)
Can you think of any other uniquely Dominican behavior that people commonly do, that is a curiosity and that really does not have any explainable benefit other than to be fun?
