I knocked three times when I heard the lizard’s chirp

Oh dear. I will surely get my hands knock out if i will knock on the woods every time i will hear the lizard's chirp.Why?Our house attracts many lizard and that makes us all wonder..Lizards everywhere and they all make sound during night time.. :-( But i believe in biting a pillow once whenever i dreamed of loosing my tooth.They say that will prevent an accident to occur in one of the members of the family..Better believe than hit by something.. :-D

We don´t have lizards where I live but there are all sorts of supersticions about knocking on wood and other things. We are supposed to receive money if we get hit on the elbow and we don´t say ouch!. Then there´s the thing about showing money to the new moon. I have tried both, but I guess my lack of faith is responsible for my not getting even a small coin

Hi enelym Lizard Chirp or a Dog wailing... there are many doing their work around with many. But yours seem to be a different one and Oh... I just heard one chirp... now where is the money or the letter... Gosh... now I read the next few lines and I have to wait... something that I cannot (Darn Impatient Siddi ) But do I have a choice... let me wait. Okay, I was always told about the wailing dogs. They bring bad luck. Not quite sure for whom but they did get me once. I met with an accident. Actually, I did post this entire response at Ms. Bingskee's Discussion here...http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2600696.aspx (Response at Box #4) And she thinks that it was a mere coincidence.... Maybe, but I am a believer of that.... the only one superstition / lore that I believe

This is just new to me :) What I know is that if a lizard makes a sound, then a visitor is to be expected, but it hasn't happened yet. Well, I know they're just some folklores and if they do happen they are more to be of coincidences. Thanks!

hi enelym for the first time i am hearing this thing that you should knock on wood hearing that sound to get good luck i wasn't aware of this practice and the only thing that i do on hearing such sound is to keep something ready in my hand to hush that creature out of my room. i feel so creepy hearing that sound

?Hi, Enelym. I'v never heard or seen that action before. Anyway, a lot of my female friends always knock 3 times when they finish gossiping. Also, fringe the hand away from their body to prevent the bad thing they gossip will return to them.

Hi enelym! I have heard of this old saying before but it has not been a tradition to us at home so I did not get used to knocking whenever I hear lizards make their sound. I do always knock three times on wood when I say something at the same time with someone and then say "money for us". I can't see any basis for this of where this saying came from but it has been a habit. I don't believe in it either and it has just became for fun to knock and even finding something wooden just to knock.

I live in a rural town, and I hear the sound of the geckos almost every night, but, I never heard that story, I guess it is only in the Philippines, I will try to remember it tonight, :). Either way, I think that this sort of histories, and folklore, are, either we believe in it or not, somehow, "carved" deep down in our subconscious mind, and we often respond to it. sometimes in funny ways.

Hello enelym, I have heard something that there would be visitor or you will receive something when you hear the lizard chirps but I am not sure if I have to knock three times. I have totally forgot about that or maybe because I haven’t hear the lizard chirp for the longest time or I don’t mind them anymore. What I usually do, is when my palm is itching, I would put them inside my pocket. I think there’s a belief with that also, either you receive money or you will lose money. Not that I believe in it, I just like doing it, to be safe anyway it won’t hurt if I put my hands inside my pocket, just like knocking when you hear the lizard chirp.

hello enelym, I don't knock on wood whenever I heard a gecko sound. It might be coincidence,but,whenever this house gecko made sounds,after a day or two I received a gift. Not to mention since I am receiving a monthly allotment- so it is given when the gecko made sounds. But,after receiving the money and I heard my pet gecko- for sure there is another surprise coming. Yah...my pet gecko made few sounds last night and then my mom called telling to check the package. She sent a package for holiday gifts and it surprises me since she never tells me in advance she will be sending us.

I have never knocked down the wall or wood when I hear the lizard chirp. No one told me to do that and after that you would get a gift. It's kind of similar to what I have often told when the lizard chirp or sounded in the middle of the conversation, it means that what we're talking was true. I didn't know if it was true relating to knocking down the wood when the lizard chirp, we would receive a stuff. I didn't see any relation between these case. I never realized how it would work on its own. Thank you

No I never heard of that.. quess some things are getting a habit too? If you say something "bad" might happen people over here say: knock 3 times on real wood so you will turn away the bad luck (so it won't happen). I did that in the past.. now I don't anymore but still someone if that situation shows up the thought of it to do so is popping up in my mind (but I can control myself now).
