14. White Horses
Did you know that if you see a white horse, you can make a wish? However, there is a catch: you have to wish before you see the tail. Why? No one wants to wish on a horse’s behind, after all.
15. Eyelashes
Put an eyelash on the back of your hand if it unintentionally comes out (don’t pluck it!). Make your wish while gently blowing while closing your eyes. If you open your eyes and the eyelash is gone, your wish has come true!
16. Pennies
Pick up any pennies you find on the ground and pitch them as far as you can. Before the penny falls to the ground, make your wish and it will come true! (Take care to guide the penny away from people and delicate things!)
17. Necklace Chains
Wear you necklaces without pendants on them? Every time the clasp circles around to your neck’s hollow (or, if you’re a guy, your Adam’s apple), you get to make a wish. As you make your wish, make sure to return the clasp to its original location.
18. Yawning
Make a quiet wish if you can resist yawning when you watch someone else yawn. Within fifteen minutes, if you yawn, the desire is revoked.
19. Falling Leaves
Make a wish if you can catch a leaf that is falling from a tree before it hits the ground!
20. Words spoken together
If you and another person happen to utter the same phrase at the same time, rapidly lock your right hands’ tiny fingers and make a wish for the other person. To secure the wish, each should then say the other’s name.
21. Lucky Nuts
If there are two nuts in a shell that should only contain one, share one with a friend so that you can each make a wish. The desire will be granted to the first person who says “lucky nut” in the morning.
22. Knives
Make a wish before picking up any flatware you may have dropped, including knives.
23. Books
Make a wish and tread on a book you unintentionally dropped with one foot. Your wish won’t come true unless you pick it up with the hand that’s opposite the foot you used.
24. Earrings
If you lose an earring, make a wish on the remaining one.
25. Four-leaf Clover
After all, four-leaf clovers are difficult to come by. Make a wish for one!
