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." |

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: |
