Superstitions/ Old Wives Tale/ Fables

[Runningman]

They're talking about urine and feet in here. What have I stumbled upon.

 

[Gardenias]

Both wives tales are FALSE.
Also false if you don't have water you can drink it to rehydrate.

 

[Gardenias]

Never wake a sleep walker is true.
Chemicals get crossed upon suddenly awakening and may cause confusion,impulsivity and aggression!

I'm not so sure that the BDF is exempt from or impervious to the Twilight Zone...

Hmm...Maybe I got that backward then

 

[Gardenias]

OWT,
Pulling out a grey hair will make MORE grow in its place.
False

 

[Lynx]

Yeah, but who cares enough to pull out every single one anyway? Even if it WERE true, I'm not yanking all those out.

 

[Lanolin]

dont wake a sleeping baby

or how about this one...never shake a baby

also never leave a baby alone. Surprising how many parents do this. It does traumatise them. They dont have very good memories, and think you've abandoned them for life, when its only been ten minutes

Also, some think they can fly, so, not really a good idea to stay on then tenth floor and dangle your baby over the railing like Michael Jackson did

 

[Gardenias]

Lanolin,none of these are old wives tales neither is the video of Ella singing.

Shaken baby syndrome is a real act of abuse and causes murder of babies.

Plz re read title and seek definition

Its old wives tales

When mothers give you advice

sorry you just cant see that. Mothers would shake babies to stop them from crying, they also gave them gripe water containing alcohol to shut them up...and this was actually given out as advice in the olden days

 

[Lanolin]

motherly advice shouldn't be heeded ALL the time.

sometimes mothers just say a lot of things that don't make sense. ANd dont get me started on the perpetual myths parents like to propagate on Easter bunnies, tooth fairies and Santa Claus.

how about babies come from a stork? maybe its a better story than 'your dad and I had sex and that's how you got created'

 

[Moses_Young]

If you're having trouble with cats in the garden, try planting some catnip.

 

[Gardenias]

Also this one is true,Moses.
If rabbits,squirrels ground rodents are bothering your garden
Go to your barber and get the hair cuttings and put them around the perimeter of you garden.
They smell humans and will stay away

 

[Gardenias]

Cracking your knuckles will give you arthritis, I still say this to my grands......lol. They are bad a cracking knuckles.

It's false. It's bubbles

 

[Gardenias]

Spilling salt brings bad luck.

I found this which is interesting.
This dates back to the 15 th century.
Leonardo da Vinci's painting of the last supper has a pile of salt spilled near the crook of Judas arm
Thus spilling salt is associated with bad fortune and corruption

As far ad throwing the spilled salt over your left shoulder it is believed that the devil himself stands there and the salt will bind him.




🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

 

[Gardenias]

Here is one proven to not be true. ( By myself....lol)

If your left palm itches you're going to receive money.
If your right palm itches you're going to meet a stranger.

 

[Lynx]

And if both palms itch, find a new dish washing detergent.

I swear, that Palmolive stuff eats my hands up. I figured out that name real fast... It ate my palm alive.
