Customs in the United States

Customs are the ways that a culture does things.

Some American customs:

When someone sneezes, you say "Bless you!"  (Sometimes people say "Geshundheit," which is German.)

We shake hands when we meet someone for the first time.

Time is money!  Americans always want to be on time.

No elbows on the table!  Also, many Americans eat with the fork in their right hands.

It is very bad to break a mirror!  Some Americans think you will have seven years of bad luck if you break a mirror.
