"What bizarre hexes did your elderly relatives try to saddle you with when you were a kid?
E.g., if you keep making that face, your face will freeze that way.
(She was right. Mine did.)"
if you keep biting the skin on the inside of your mouth you'll always have money  |

My Dad used to say this, 'if the wind changes your face will stick' - good, let's see if that's true paternal parental figure - and I'd be out in the garden gunning to see if it was true  |

My Nana used to tell me ....eat the crusts & they'll put curls in your hair.... But I didn't want curls in my hair.... 
My Mum used to say eat your carrots & you'll be able to see on the dark....& I used to think....why would I want to see in the dark.... |

Don't pick your nose or your head will cave in. 
My dad used to tell me not to eat the end of a banana because tarantulas lay their eggs there.
WTF dad 
I honestly can't remember the stuff my crazy Welsh Man used to say but it mostly involved a painful death or disfigurement as a result of doing a very ordinary thing. |

My mum had no end of superstitions and sayings. We weren't allowed certain flowers in the house, if we put clothes on inside out we couldn't change them, if we returned to the house for something we'd forgotten we had to sit down before we were allowed back out, no showing no 13 on the calender and any number of other odd rules. I have no idea what would happen to us if we didn't do these things |

My Mum told me recently when I was telling her that Robins were nesting out my back....She said ...."Oh make sure one doesn't get in the house cos it's not good if a Robin enters your house" I asked "why"...."I thought they'd bring good luck" her reply...."No....They say if a Robin enters your house they're coming to take you"....as in death, a bad omen....Omg to say I got the spinal shivers is an understatement .... |

Don't know about Tarantulas in bananas,but these sorts of sayings aren't always daft.My Grandfather was in North Africa during the war.One day eating fresh figs from a tree a Bedouin came running up flapping his arms about,he grabbed a fig and opened it with his thumbnail,showing everyone the maggot living in the crease in the fig stone. |

"Don't sit on walls or you'll get a kidney infection....
If a black cat walks behind you it's bad luck....if he walks in front of you it's good luck....
"
I always thought it was if a black cat crosses your path it was bad luck |

That if I was good all year a fat bloke with a white beard and wearing a red velvet suit would park his reindeer driven, flying sleigh on our roof, squeeze down the chimney, steel our mince pies and leave me a present.
“Ooooo will it be a BMX?” “No dear, that won’t fit down the chimney, you might get some socks” |

Yea maybe I have that one wrong ....it's happened me 3 times recently that a black cat walked past me in front of me.... probably subconsciously trying to convince myself that it's only bad luck if they walk behind you.... |

"I’ve forgotten the name of the flowers, I think dandelions, but they used to say if you keep sniffing them you will piss the bed"
Eating them will.An old English name is 'pissabed'.They are diuretic. |
