Is it true?

I thought it was apple seeds!

Does anyone know anyone who had their eye poked out? I'm sure we all got told that A LOT when playing with erm, long, pointy & shapr objects!

when i was in 5th grade, two of the boys in my class were at a friends playing, one of the boys pulled out a knife, and promplty poked the other boys eye out. it happens

If any of us grandchildren misbehaved my grandma would say "If you keep acting up the police will come and take you away."

I'm actually still a little bitter about this and I can't believe she still says this to the youngest in the group. When I was a kid I actually had a panic attack in preschool when I found out that a cop was coming to visit. I think it's horrible parenting to make your child afraid of someone who is there to help you. She's obviously never thought it through.
Other than that she's the best grandma ever though :P

Eat all your carrots ! Have you ever seen a bunny wear glasses ?

Bury the grease in the backyard by the fence, never put it down the drain....It will clog

In Winter, put a black sock and a Folgers can over your outside spigots to keep from freezing

Pretty as, pretty does....

Eat your greens, they put hair on your chest

Applesauce and toast .....will never make you sick

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill

We are from the South, my granny said these things daily !

We are from the South, there are tons of these !

"If you don't pick up your toys, Santa's elves are going to come in the middle of the night and take them back!"

That always scared me into putting my toys back.

"Eating all that spicy food is gonna put hair on your chest"

Looking at my chest now and no hair is there

Not a myth or anything but i thought cats where girls and dogs where boys until i was like 14 lol

ahahaha! i love that!

*spits out watermelon seeds* Aww crap. >.<

Well, apparently boys don't have cooties. :P

"Don't swallow your bubble gum or your bum will stick shut and you won't be able to poop."


Thanks, Grandpa. :-) R.I.P

HAHAHA! Epic stuff!

I remember, "Step in a hole and break your mothers sugar bowl!" I used to get mad at mom and JUMP on or in every hole I could find. lol.

Ours was, "Step on a crack and you break your momma's back." :P

If out at a sporting event I didn't sing the national anthem and stand up I would be shot.

My dad had a dark sense of humor. :noway:

If you don't stoP playing with it it will fall off!

I tell my son that, then turn and see my husband playing with his :noway: :laugh:

My grampa was fond of telling me I had better eat this or do that, because "it will put hair on your chest". Thank goodness he was wrong!

When we misbehaved, my folks threatened to put us BACK under the cabbage leaf where they found us. :noway:

If we didn't like something that was made for us for dinner, we were told to eat it, because "there are starving kids in China who would LOVE to have what you're having for dinner." Well...why don't we send this stuff to THEM, then? :huh:

"Don't swallow your bubble gum or your bum will stick shut and you won't be able to poop."


Thanks, Grandpa. :-) R.I.P

LOL!

Don't drink coffee because it will put hair on your chest!

My sisters and I loved to eat raw potatoes and we could beg my Mom to let us have some when she was cooking. She would give each of us one piece and tell us that anymore than that would put worms in our stomach.

If you swallow gum it will travel to your heart and strangle it! I'm almost embarrased to say my grandmother said that.:noway:

If you look into the sun you can take your teeth out.

I was so envious that my grandpa could take his teeth out. I tried very very hard for a very very long time (with no luck, might I add)! I still chuckle at the memory!

Absolutely priceless! :laugh:

Don't sit so close to the tv--you'll get a brain tumor from the radiation! This was in the early to mid 1960s.
