My sister bought me a really funny book for my birthday, 'Things we used to believe'.
Ands it basically full of stuff our parents used to tell us.
My favourites are
'If I played with my weiner, it would fall off'
'If I sucked my thumb, it would turn green and fall off'
'If I swallowed chewing gum, it would stick my insides together'
There are loads, and I rememeber most of them from either my gran or my mum!!!
children are to be seen and not heard
stick in at school or youl turn out like ya father
dont smoke its bad for ya

ya nose will grow if ya lie

OMG i'm now realising i'm turning in to my mother :shock:
I'm guilty of most of the sayings, but slightly off thread; actions - she used to lick her sleeve and rub my mouth of crumbs or a speck of dirt ......
I wonder why my eldest rages at me for it :giggle:
I've been told most of the above (no wonder I'm so screwed up!)
One thing that my nana used to say to me when I was a little girl and having a go at peeling spuds ... "Don't make the peelings too thick - there are starving children in India you know!" confused:
Always puzzled me, that one.

And according to my mum, thunder was god climbing the stairs to go to bed- lightning was him switching the light on.
During a particularly lengthy storm one night, I came to the conclusion that God had O.C.D.
My gran told me never to sit on a man's knee as it arouses his passion.
Never to swallow chewing gum as it will strangle your heart!
And that if I unscrewed my belly button my bottom would drop off - I was terrified!
Everybody has said pretty much the same things i was told as a kid lol I really love the saying " if u fall & break ya legs dont come running 2 me" :lol:
"This is hurting me alot more than it hurts you"

if its raining god is having a pee if its sleet god is having a wank if its snowing god is pooing its its windy god has got farts god is happy when its sunny cloudy means he is confused thunder and lightning means god is madalthough that one was slightly edited when we were younger
