weird silly advice you have had

[devonshiredumpling]

just thinking today of a piece of advice that my ex MIL gave me .she said that if you do not wear tights in winter i would not have any children (no tights and two kids later). wondered if you people had any further gems of wisdom

Groovee, my Dad has that!! He had surgery about 12 years ago, and has an ace "scar" ( a big divot in his skull where they drilled a hole). He's bald (all the better to show off the scar) so definitely not related to hair-washing....

Eating crusts will make your hair curly. Eating carrots will make you see in a the dark. You can swim at school during your period as the blood will not come out in cold water (from my PE teacher, I chose not to put this to the test). You can't ride a bicycle whilst pregnant (this from someone I'd previously considered reasonably intelligent).

Taking a baby out in the night air was as bad as throwing it up against a wall, told to my GM, by an old doctor.

It was believed that night air was different to day air, when she was having her babies in the 1920/30's.

Dont bf, otherwise your baby will see you as a source of food and not love you, told by a family friend.

My grandmother told me that if you're ever impaled on a reindeer's antler, try and swing over it's head.

"My aunt told me to tie my 3month old to a table leg whilst sitting on a potty to 'get her started on toilet training'

Taking a baby out in the night air was as bad as throwing it up against a wall, told to my GM, by an old doctor."

Please tell me these aren't true?!

I mean they're obviously not TRUE... gah ... too much wine.
