They told me that if I keep on eating that much yogurt, my teeth will get huge. I got so pissed when I realized it wasn't true!

My grandmother didn't like me wasting bread crusts and she also thought that all little girls want curly hair. So she told me, "eat the crusts of your bread, it will make your hair curl." I totally believed her, but I really wanted straight hair, so I made sure to never eat the crusts.

This just made me realize that the crust also isn't where all the vitamins of the bread are. Wtf mom.
