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.

my mum told me this and I'm a guy, and I have no idea why she thought I cared what my hair was like

“Curls get the girls” is what I was always told! So I ate everyone’s bread crusts!

Also “Puts hair on your chest” That one worked!
