Pinch punch, it's the first of the month!

 

In England we have a funny tradition for the first day of each month.

• First we say "Pinch, punch, it's the first of the month!" 
• Then we give somebody a small pinch and a light punch on the arm.
• We can do this on first day of every month.

If we follow this by saying white rabbit it means the receiver of the pinch punch can't return the saying and pinch punch us back!
  
This is a funny little tradition usually only done by kids or younger people. I remember that sometimes the punch from my school friends was a little more painful than it should have been, but boys will be boys!

White rabbit!
