Too right - my 9 month old knows what it means. Doesn't mean she always does it...but she knows when she shouldn't be doing something. Even wags her finger at me when she knows she's being naughty!!

That reminds me - I was told pigs can see the wind because they don't have eye lashes. The case against my parents comes up next week.

Teenage boys do STUPID things - I think it is a short supply of blood in their brains

Teenage girls are just horrid - it is six years of 24/7/365 PMS.

Bad luck to cut your toenails on a Sunday. My grandpa always said that.

Oh and my granny would never wear brown on sundays.

One of my ex's mum told her that you had to close all your drawers and wardrobe doors or witches will move in, and that she had to open windows in a lightning storm so the lightning could escape if it hit the house! (got her out of that one sharpish! EVERYTHING ended up getting soaked one day, it was only when i asked her why i found out, and she thought everyone did it! (and she was 22 at the time!) strange girl!

We always had to open the back door to let the thunderbolt out in storms, it was supposed to come down the chimney! My mum and dad still do it as far as I know and that is in spite of the fact they have a gas fire in the way.
