    If you pee outside you will get pink eye.
    I routinely pee off my porch. LOL - country living has it's perks.


    haha......'that' is why they said that!

    Yep. I've put forth MUCH more effort to pee outside vs just going to the bathroom.

    In school... "It will go on your permanent record". Feared that. Now I would love to see what was in it.

    If the wind changes, your face will stay that way.

    Eat all your carrots and you'll be able to see in the dark!

    If you use your fingers to push your vegetables onto your fork or spoon, your fingers would turn into vegetables. :huh: <3Grandma

    If you scowl, your face will freeze like that.

    If you swallow gum, it will take 7 years to digest.

    THIS!

    I'm thinking my "permanent record" is filled with legendary stuff, like the time in Ag class we visited a working farm and I jumped off a haytruck onto the back of a cow...only to be dumped on my butt 50 yards later. Good times. :laugh:

    If you eat your carrots, you can see in the dark.
    If you look directly at the sun, you will go blind.
    If you eat your bread crusts, you'll get hair on your chest.

    If you step over a child they won't grow.

    If my brothers were laying on the floor and I stepped over their legs my mum would make me step back again otherwise their legs wouldn't grow anymore!!!

    If you play with fire, you'll pee in your bed..

    Ha! I say that to my kids all the time.

    I remember my dad telling me to eat the skin from potatoes because it would put hair on my chest. I still won't eat the skins, just in case.

    Eat your crusts so you'll get curly hair!

    25 yrs of eating them - hair as straight as ever. Straighter then using a straightener :angry:

    Remember being a kid and hearing things like "If you eat watermellon seeds one will grow in your stomach!"

    What are some of the more memorable sayings you remember from your childhood?

    Weird as it might seem, there have been a few cases of peas (and probably other seeds) being accidentally being inhaled and taking root in a person's lung. Fer real.

    And might I add, ewwww...

    OH DEAR GOD. Ah!

    This isn't really a saying, but when I was about 6 yrs old my cousin who was 1 yr older than me told me that people only have 7 layers of skin, and once they're gone, that's it. I believed her for the longest time and was worried about what would happen if I skinned my knee more than 7 times.

    "Eat your crust..it gives you curls!"

    I never ate my crust as a child, but I do now, and ... viola! Curly hair! :laugh:
