Facts of life

Do you remember all the little myths/lore/legends or stories that you were convinced were true? You know, when you were young and wanted to be an expert about SOMETHING?

My kids and I were laughing about some of them and I wanted to share with you:

My son was caught picking his nose and was told not to because it's (meaning the habit of boogie hunting) no good for you.  He turned to me and said with an honest face: Actually Mommy, it is and they are VERY good.

My son used to trim his fingernails and hide the clippings in a small container.  Grossed out, I asked him what in the world he was doing.  He answer was :  I am feeding my action figures at night when I go to bed.  It's rice.

When someone drools on their pillow, that is what's called a "Monster Mark"  It means the bogeyman has come out from under the bed and sized up your head in its mouth.

You should always drain off that liquid on the top of yogurt.  It's poison.

If you are walking and see the heat waves on the road, go another way.  To cross them will cook you.

A ring of toadstools/ mushrooms is where the fairies sat and had a meeting but forgot to put their chairs away.

Birds fly faster at night because they have to be in before the streetlights come on too.

If you see a mirage (a pool of water, an animal etc) and you "call it" out loud, it will become real.

There is always ALWAYS an angry monstrous leprechaun at the end of the rainbow guarding the pot of gold.

There is a monster under the steps and if the steps are hollow, he will grab you.

Clouds are angels collecting together to see what you're doing.

Thunder and lightening storms are just games of bowling going on in Heaven.

If you touch the roof of your car with your index finger during a yellow light, it will stay yellow longer, letting you through

NEVER make a wish on a harvest/red moon. It only brings bad things.

Never whisper a name while passing a cemetary. It calls them to you.
