After eating wait an hour before swimming (or you'll get cramps)
 
My brothers told me if I swallowed watermelon seeds I'd grow watermelons in my belly. I never believed that myth (much;)).
 

I never liked onions so to get me to eat them my mother would tell me they give you pretty skin-- :rolleyes:



Another one-- if the sun was shining and it was raining it meant the devil was beating his wife :confused:

Hahahahahaha:p
 
My mother used to tell me not to put my finger in the electrical socket because there was a bug in there that would bite it off.
 
Eat that (usually some green squishy veggie like lima beans or peas), cause it will put hair on your chest. Took me til about 8 to realize that girls wouldn't want hair on their chests!!!

We grew up saying that one too. I think it's a southern thing.

I had a friend, who when he was a sophomore in high school, still insisted you could get worms from eating raw cookie dough. We had the hardest time convincing him!!! And only a few years later he went off to school at Yale.

Gold at the end of a rainbow. Ooops.:eek: Did I let the cat out of the bag?
 
If you lie there will be a black line down your tongue!(I use that one on DS now!LOL)

What about not eating Pop rocks and soda because it would make you explode and die.
