There's a common belief that says Once you offend your parents, and they've vowed to flog you, remove some strands of your eyelashes and put it on the floor where they must pass across, they'll definitely forget. LOL, Did you tried this growing up?
We may not know the world as well as we thought we did! While you may have gotten straight A’s in school, somewhere along the way, you learned a few things as a kid that are never true. But it’s not like your teachers, family members, and parents were lying to you. They were neither primitive nor superstitious but needed to maintain sanity in the community. Sitting on a grinding stone is not good for various reasons and they found a way to discourage people from doing so.

Do you still remember all these "Don't do this, Don't do that" you were told while growing up? Let me help you remember some of them:

1. If you kill a wall gecko, the head of your family will die

2. If you lose one tooth or more, throw it on the top of a zinc roof. If a lizard picks it, it'll grow back.

3. If you look at yourself in a mirror at night, you'll have a nightmare.

4. If the sun is up and rain is falling simultaneously, then a lion has given birth.

5. That if you stand on a rock/stone, you won't grow tall again.

6. Answering your name when you thought that someone is calling you is a taboo.

7. When you are walking and saw a drawn line on your way, don't cross it. Look for another way to pass. Your destiny will be destroyed if you do.

8. Mrs Koikoi, and her infamous shoe, the pretty teacher that died and her ghost was haunting the community school (I nearly died of fear because of this one)

9. If you bend and look in between your legs in the market, you will see ghosts.

10. If you wash a dogs face and use the water to wash your face, you will see spirits at nights. They even have example of my cousin who did it and was running helter skelter and screaming throughout the night.

12. If a certain worm enters your ear, you will turn into the opposite gender.

13. If you eat mango and then take garri, you will die.

14. If you sit in the doorway, spirits will knock you

15. If you take holy communion home from church, it will become blood

You shouldn't feel such, it's all part of growing. The memories and all.

I did the 15 but it's pure lies
