Oh and after a night of partying always walk through you front door backwards so that you leave anything negative spirits and energy outside;) |
The only ones that really come to me are: If you make that face it'll freeze like that. Swallow your gum and it takes 7 years to digest. (I know that's not true..but I still think about it. Like today I accidently swollowed my gum and I was like "aah...its gonna be stuck for 7 years." lol) |
My mother used to say, "If your palm itches someones coming".... "If you swallow a seed it will sprout in your belly." "If you sneeze and hold it in your eyes will pop out" And the one by Yorkiedaze, " If a frog pees on you you'll grow a wart" Needless to say, we grew up being very fearful....:rolleyes: |
When giving a wallet as a gift always put some money in in -typically a nickel :) |
Play with fire and you will piss the bed. |
Here's some of mine: Biting your fingernails will give you appendicitus. (That one made me stop biting mine) Swallowing your gum will cause your bellybutton to stick to your backbone. Nose itches? You're gonna kiss a fool. Foot itches? You're going some place you've never been before. Palm itches? You're coming into some money. Crossing your eyes will make them stick that way. If my g-ma ever caught anyone scratching she would say "Ain't no use rollin' 'em over, they got legs on both sides:D " And this isn't really an old wive's tale but it's something my g-ma, who had 15 kids and was very wise always told us to live by: "Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see and you'll get along great." |

My Dad always used to say "Don't take any wooden nickels". to this day, I don't know what it means |

Dads are funny! My dad used to say, what's that got to do with the price of eggs in China? My dad was the best person I've ever known but darned if I've ever figured that one out.:p |

They also believe that you can't cut your toenails at night or evil spirits will come. And your front door cant be a straight shot from the street. You have to make at least one turn before going inside. (i.e. sidewalk turns to the right or left and door is on side of house) Evil spirits cannot turn corners. Thats my personal favorite. :) Russians believe that you cannot sit on cold concrete (as a woman) or you will become infertile. Place a plastic bag down under your butt and you are in the clear! :) |
These are fun! If you say someone's name by mistake that person is talking about you. If your nose itches someone is talking about you. There's another one but i forgot how it goes....it's something about if you wear someone's wedding ring on your wedding finger or let someone else wear your ring....etc.? Does anyone know it? |

oh my mom used to tell us this...don't stick your head out the window or the invisible hand will get you and pull you out:eek: I was always scared to look too much out the window, we live in a building so i guess that was her way of keeping us safe:rolleyes: |
Whenever you get one of those quick shivers, a ghost is passing through your body. |

To determine the sex of a pregnant woman's baby, pour some Drano in the toilet, and have her pee on it- if it turns pink, it's a girl, and if it turns blue, it's a boy. It's good luck if it rains on your wedding day |
More... Eating carrots will improve your eyesight (TOTALLY invented so kids would eat veggies!) Falling asleep in a tanning bed can cook you from the inside out. A blob of mayonaise in the hand of a menstruating woman will curdle If a woman has her period while canning fruits and vegetables, they will spoil in the can Have a pregnant woman pick up a key. If she picks it up by the round end, it will be a boy. If she picks it up by the long end, it will be a girl. If she picks it up in the middle, twins are on the way. |
find a penny pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck (it has to be heads up) If your ear itches someone is thinking of you if your palm itches you're gonna get money you can get pregnant from kissing you can't use tampons until you've had sex (this was my moms cuz she didn't want to show me how :D ) |

All something that my granny used to say plus these others.... Deaths comes in 3 -- now this seems to hold true in my family tho If it snows and there is snow on the ground 3 days later, it will snow again --- now this seems to be coming true as welll Ring around the moon means it will rain soon --- another one that seems to be true |
Red sky in morning - sailor take warning Red sky at night - sailor's delight. If you hear an owl hoot in the daytime - someone's gonna die. Death DOES come in threes in my family! - It's scarey:( |
For every foggy day in August there will be a snow storm the following January. I guess it's one of those "up north" things. |
A piece of string, thread. A long one means you're going on a long trip. And a short one means you're going on a short trip. We still laugh about this. My MIL says if you get a headache to put a glass of water on your head and sit in the sun and it will draw the headache out through the glass of water. |
When my boy's were babies and I held them on my lap to where they put weight on their legs, my husbands grandparents would flip out and tell me that I was going to make them bow legged! I did this to all 4 of them all the time and mom of them are bow legged:rolleyes: If a bird flies into your closed window, someone that is in the house will die! If you ate raw cookie dough or pie dough, then it would bake in your belly when you were out in the sun. ( I really thought this was true for a long time because my aunt told us that is how she got fat when we were little kids) also if you swallowed watermelon seeds, then it would grow in your belly too. |

My MIL used to drive me crazy with this one! I had forgotten about that. |
Don't split a pole or you will be seperated in life.- if i'm walking with mom and I walk on one side of a pole, and she walks on the other, than she will turn around and walk on my side. I always heard the one about the shivers was someone walking across your grave |
