Old Wives Tales

here are a few we got: 1) don't sweep out dirt at night, good luck will go away with it; 2) put scissors or any pointed object on an idle bed, like when you would go on vacation and no one will use it, or beds in the visitor's room which aren't used regularly. this is to prevent the unseen someone from laying down on it; 3) don't take a bath on the second day of your menstruation, it will make your blood run up your brains and make you crazy; 4) when you have a bad dream, bite a wood right when you wake up to 'bite-off' the jinx; 5) your nose will grow if you lie. sound all silly huh? :P

I heard all of these from my great grandmother..she had so many more ...lol If you go outside with wet hair, you'll catch a cold. Cats can steal the air from a baby's mouth If you play with fire you will wet the bed. If you raise your arms above your head when you are pregnant, you will strangle the baby with the umbilical cord. If the sun is shining while it is raining, then the devil is beating his wife
