Hi Colin,


The one about crusts gets me, my Mum always said, you have to eat your crusts or your hair wont curl, I've had curly hair all my life and hate crusts!


Caz xx

Caz,

I didnt eat my crusts and now don't have much hair (curly or otherwise) -perhaps Mum was right

Me too Caz, never ate my crusts cos I didnt' want curly hair.

We were told if we crossed our eyes and bumped our head our eyes would stay that way forever...
also told about the crusts and curly hair..
my brother would also eat his bread dry with no "margarine'' mum would always tell him his bones will dry up because you need the grease to keep them moving...

Pam

I've never been forgiven for telling my children thunder was god moving his furniture about!

Apparently I was meant to tell them the TRUTH!


maggie

I was told that grape pips would cause a tree to grow inisde me (ahh the innocence omy my good old Mum & Dad thought grapes grew on trees - I still tease em)

And dont put anymore salt/vinegar on or it will dry your blood up,,,,,,,,,,


Oh and a new pr of plimsoles would make you run faster,,,,,,,,!!!!now what that all about,,,,,,,,,

Don't swallow chewing gum or it will stick to your puddings (I've got O level biology and I've get to find out where "the puddings" are situated! lol)

If you were sulking with the bottom lip out my Mam would say you could sole a shoe on that, then proceed to slap her thigh and sing, sole a shoe, sole a shoe, sole a shoe til you either laughed or cried, or else pulled your lip in.

She also told me if I went out without my breakfast I would faint by the time I got to the top of the street. I didn't

I was told that if I took my cap off before I got to school my brains would stop working ............ think they were right on that one ........

Dont go walking in the woods alone, else the "Bogey man" will get you...lol
