Among Friends

  When I was little, she used to tell me if I didn't stop making faces, my face would freeze that way --- well, I STILL make faces, and my face hasn't frozen!!!!

Same here. I use to cross my eyes.  They didn't stay that way!

I wonder what I told my kids that they'll be talking about in the future?

lol -  the older I get, the more I find things my mother told me were right -  sometimes just metaphorically, but she was on the right track way too often about some really important things I rejected at the time.

lol! mom told me the same thing too but that never stopped me from making faces! i also enjoyed crossing my eyes and i remember my dad hating that. once, after his stern warning to quit it, i crossed my eyes at my brothers and i got slapped across the face. um, that didn’t do the trick either. 😊

@YorkieonmyPillow My mother told me to stop swearing, being the brat I was I think that encouraged me, now I can cuss like a sailor, and every time I do, I still hear my Mom saying "Girl where did you learn such language, I told her one time, "Dad, wrong answer, LOL!

@YorkieonmyPillow  My mom said the same thing. My face hasn't frozen yet either. In this day and age only with botox would this happen!

We walked home from school.  I tried so hard not to "step on a crack and break my mother's back".  I can't remember who told me that.  Probably some other kid.

She would tell us if we told a lie our tongue turned black.  If we questioned it, she said only mothers could see it!

Magical powers along with those eyes she had in the back of her head.

My mother told me that if I didn't wash my ears, potatoes would grow out of them.

I remember "Step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back"......I was angry at her when I was walking on a sidewalk, and deliberately stepped on the cracks......but nothing happened to her back.
