I could write pages on this stuff! I'm Cuban and we believe some crazy things. Still, I'd rather be safe than sorry, you know
Baby with the hiccups - pull a piece of string off its clothes and stick it on his forehead with your saliva!
Baby coughing - blow on his forehead and lift his arms up
We pin an "asevache" on the baby to ward off the evil eye (it's a little black stone on a gold pin usually inscribed with 'God Bless Me' or 'Look at me but don't kiss me"
Never leave just 1 shoe or sock on - even if you are sitting down
Don't wash your hair at night - the night air will make you sick
Never put your purse on the floor - you'll lose all your money
Don't let anyone sweep your feet by accident - you'll never get married
Put a broom up against the wall behind a door if you don't want a particular person to come in
Cat washing its face means company's coming over
Right hand itches - money is coming your way - opposite hand, opposite outcome
Ok let me stop now!
