I was told that if you pulled a face and the wind changed youd stick with that face.

I must have been in the middle of a bloody tornado with a facial cramp.

I was told that if you picked a guinea pig up by it's tail it's eyes would fall out!!

 

I was also told that if we kept the wild hedgehogs we rescued when i was child their noses would turn blue.

 

I believed these 'truths' and many similar long into adulthood, sad isn't it!!.

I got told that there was a tooth fairy and that if i didn't put my tooth under the pillow she wouldn't come. So one day i put it under and woke up in the middle of the nite so see my mum taking me tooth and replacing it with a pound. God i was gutted! x

I was told that I was born out of a rock.

How come I don't get the nice stork story ?

 

I was also told as a kid that if I didn't finish the rice in my bowl, I'd marry someone ugly and with spots. Not sure if there is a scientific link in that one. Hm....
