When I was little - some things I thought - that are not so -

My parents, my Gram often told us that:
Swallowing chewing gum would plug you up.
Eating or drinking the following would put hair on your chest:
Hot peppers
Whiskey or any hard liquor
Sauerkraut
Dill Pickles
Espresso
Horseradish
Eating bologna sandwiches while pregnant caused birth defects. Gram said this after I told he my oldest son was legally blind in his left eye due to being born with no Macular in that eye.
Drinking anything containing caffeine caused low birth weight. Two of my children were 10 lbs when they were born.
The Boogey man lived across the street. An elderly man owned the field across from our house, he would yell at us if he caught us playing there.

When I was in kindergarten we had to recite our address. I thought I could write it on my hand and just read it. I didn't know how to read or write at that time. Just followed what I heard the older kids talked about doing.
