I was told that if I ate while lying down I'd grow horns (... I checked my head regularly!
)
And if I played with fire I'd wet my bed.
I've heard all of those except the chocolate during pregnancy. I was also told if you tickle the baby's feet it will stutter. (now how many stutterers were tickled as babies?
)

I thought those were something that my folks had made up...... nice to see that you were told the same dudette.
I was told that my eyes would fall out if I ever started smoking..... still waiting - just hope my kids listen to that one though.

I must have been about 13 and my friends mom just had a baby boy and I was tickling his feet and she told me to be careful :haha: .... Ive not seen him since so I hope he isnt a speccy four eyes with a distinctive squint! .... I couldnt live with the guilt! :haha:

Never heard that one, but a good one to use for my children
I was also told to go to be with clean undies for that very reason, :haha:
For some reason its not a very good thing to be in hospital with undies not in tip-top condition
Ah, but it is also important to wear pyjamas in bed in case the house burns down......
