Each time I cast my mind back to the yester years, I cannot help but laugh. Whenever I remember the things my mother or my father used to tell me as a child: don't do this or this will happen. Some were truth, others superstitious, but were all for my good. Like 'don't give a child egg else he will become a thief', and many others. Now I know better and I thank them for making me who I am. What about you, what were u told as a child? Share with us here.

Never cross a pregnant woman, else, she will deliver a baby like you.

If you make a face, a strong wind will blow and your face will be fixed like that forever.

Be careful of what you say, cos u never can tel what kinda angel is passing by

If you think you can talk always remember the good listener.

(Told by others not my parents )

Women are not allowed to eat gizzard 

Don't swallow seeds 'cause they'll grow on your head 

Don't talk about dead people 'cause they're listening to you 

Be careful of what you say, cos the wall has ears.

"Always tell someone where you are going in case you fall in a pothole on the way."

Never talk to a stranger

never wear torn or dirty underwear in case u get into an accident.

Don't let a man touch you if he does you will become pregnant

never serve an elder with left hands

Go to sunday school church as early as possible the angels come to church on time and take attendance before the main church services begins and you know what that means if they did not write your name

Never describe your house with a left hand . . . . make no sense now that i think about it.

Never tell any man you are dating about your grudges with your family. Put on a smile and say you have the best relationship ever.

Absurd.

^^^ you think?

Never sit at the door while eating.

I laugh a lot so they would tell me that my Lauhg will finish, there was always someone at JUTH, who had used up his laugh even though they never took me there to seee the person till today. They said the mans mouth just hangs when he wants to laugh but no sound comes out.
So now i tell my nephew that I have spidermans and Ben 10's number and believe me am like a mini god to him. Only me can get him to behave and run errands.

ummmmm

It was an ad on TV about crisps. In SA we call crisps chips. Anyway this chip has got funny legs and is prancing all over the piano making catchy music. There goes my mother "you must never eat those chips again because you will end up walking just like that chip. I tell you till this day I dont touch those chips, When I tell her about it today she tells me she needed to find a way to get me to eat proper food other than those chips especially in the evening. Apparently meal time was war time in our house,

Don't eat food while standing, d food might be passing through your legs to the ground and you will not get satisfied.

i remember that one too . . ^^
