Funny old wives' tales
I was just getting some ice water and it reminded me of when I was little and my grandmother told me that if I drank cold water I'd get really hairy arms 
My cousin used to tell me that if I swallowed grape seeds that a grape plant would grow out the top of my head.
My mom (sort of?) believed that if you played basketball while growing up that you'd somehow stretch yourself taller 
Do you have any funny ones to share?
I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball
Re: Funny old wives' tales
Those are all hilarious!
I can't think of any now, though I know I know some...they'll come to me!
I remember a few:
Seeing the groom before the wedding is bad luck
If you are carrying your pregnancy high, it's a girl/boy, if low, it's a girl/boy. Thing is no one could get these straight. And I carried high because I am short waisted and he had nowhere else to go.
If you cross your eyes and someone slaps you on the back, they will stay like that forever. I was scared to death of that as a child.
My uncle told me if I played with my belly button, it would unravel and my insides would fall out. I may or may not have also told my sister that. She is 15 years younger than me.
LOL, that's a new one for me.
I think he made it up.
My family liked to try to scare you out of doing things. My mom was an ER nurse and when she caught me trying to shot a rubber band, she told me about the children she saw with their eye balls hanging out due to flying rubber bands. Is that even possible?
