Actually crossing your finger hoping your parents will forget some shady ish you did. I thought it worked atimes.

to grow a new tooth you have to look for rat poop and some other freankin ish and avoid lizards seeing them.

If you ate the eyes of fishes or drank coconut water you gon be a dumbo.

I got over the belief of Santa quickly and all other costume fairies because i caught them changing their costumes.

since 2k8, Posta your hope worked.
