She had stepped on plenty of cracks and nothing bad ever happened to her mom. When she was younger, my informant explained that it was not something that she necessarily believed. Also, it is not something that you merely say, but “is a rhyme that you kind of sing.” She remembers saying the phrase while hopping over cracks. She says that she commonly used the expression on the playground at school or while playing with friends.
The saying is pretty popular and is easily recognized by most Americans. My informant first heard the American expression when she was in elementary school. Date of Performance/Collection: March 2012
