when leaning arm on the table and face in hand, ( which stretches skin ) I was told my face would stay like that. Alas my Mother was right.


I thought they were lies at the time :-))))))))

My mum always used to tell us not to pee in the sea, cos a big wave would wash us away.

Dandelions - are a natural diuwhotsit.... makes you pee. I had that one told me too.

We were never allowed chewing gum as kids - and to warn us off, were told if we swallowed it, it would stick up our throats and stomaches. Am still nevous when I do swallow gum, even now, at nearly 60. lol

Lies that I told my daughter - that I have eyes at the back of my head. And that I could see through walls.

Nor sure which are the more scarey. lol

How about

Dandylions.....make you wet the bed?? whats that all about?

Don't pick your nose cause your head will cave in...ugh!

When my mum was asked how old she was, she always said "as old as my tongue and a bit older than my teeth" loved that one!

I didn't want to stay at school for dinner, but mum told me I would like it, cos they do pink mashed potatoes.

lol if i stood in front of the tv
mum used to say .
What was ur dad ... a glass blower lol
or if i left the door open she would say .... was you born in a barn

My Dad always told us to eat our veggies or we would'nt get hair on our chest, think I was about 9 before I realized girls don't want hair on their chests. Think all my sisters were about the same age. lol

or don't stick your finger in there your brains will fall out....didn't matter whether it was our nose or our ear we were told the same thing.

I must have eaten loads of crusts 'cause I have such curley hair that it was a nightmare when I was young to get a brush let alone a comb thru it, so now its short!!!
Apple pips and tree's growing inside!
carrots see in the dark!
cold, damp ground - piles!
poke tounge out stay like that if the wind changes!
pick your nose - eyes will fall out!
clean ears or spuds will grow from them!
come here and I'll give you a clip round the ear - yeah and I'd fall for it when I was naughty

all the usual stuff

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


Tony...:>))

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 ........

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

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,,,,,,,,,

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)

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

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

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

Caz,

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

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!
