I had a laugh when I saw this. It reminded me of some of the things my mother used to tell me. I am not sure if she believed them or if she said it to stop me doing certain things
- if you swallow chewing gum it will stay in your stomach forever
- nosebleeds make you lose weight
- pepper takes seven years to pass through your system
- long hair saps your strength
- bathing more than once a week removes all your natural oils
- you can’t wash your hair when you have your period
- you get sick if you go outside with wet hair
- if you pull a face and the clock strikes your face will stay like that
- if you wear mascara it all collects behind your eyeballs. So badly that one day they would have to remove your eyeballs to scrape it all out
- peacock feathers and owls are unlucky
- you have to cover mirrors during a storm or they will attract lightning
- sitting on cold cement gives you piles
- swallowing an apple seed will mean an apple tree will grow in your stomach
- each time you crack your knuckles they get bigger and bigger.
- if you pick your nose your nostrils will get so huge you will be able to see your brain.
