What does 3 concurrent sneezes mean?

When I used to sneeze when I was little and I sneezed 3 times my mom would say Oh 3 sneezes that means ______________ I can't remember for the life of me what it's supposed to mean. Just having sneezed 3 times the memory came back of her saying that. Can anyone tell me what she may have said? If it helps we're an italian american family but I don't remember her saying anything italian in the 3 sneeze statement. Unfortunatly she's passed on so I can't give her a call.

    Sneezing 3 Times

  • 1 decade ago

    It means 3 people have sneezed at the same time, as opposed to 3 consecutive sneezes, which means that 1 sneeze has been quickly followed by 2 successive sneezes. Either means that there is some nasal irritant around.
