My Grandmother on my father's side was my favorite and I was her favorite...and eveyone knew it!
Some things she told me are still with me, other are just nuts...and I share both with everyone.
The one's I still believe:
-No girl should have a boyfriend until she knows how to cook, wash clothes and be able to take care of herself.
-You don't need a man. Anything you need, YOU can do/get yourself.
-Shut the door behind you...do you live in a barn?
-When walking with a man, make sure he is on the outside of the the street, closer to the traffic...if its the other way around, you look like he's selling you, and that's disrespectful.
-Don't sleep with your shoes by your head, you will have bad dreams
-If a baby has the hiccups, but a red string on their forehead.
- Don't leave the house with wet hair.
- "Sana, Sana....
and HER all time favorite:...
-"You're not happy unless I hit you at least once a day!"
The ones I think are just WAY OUT THERE:
-To cure a sore neck, Take your partners dirty underwear and wear it around your neck at night. In the morning your neck will be better....
-If you swallow your gum, it will turn into a worm and live on everything you eat.
-When your feet fall asleep, its really the devil poking you. To "make him stop" you must make the sign of the cross on the bottom of your feet until it goes away....
-Don't play with your dolls before you go to sleep or they will come to life and steal your breath.
I'm sure there are more, but this is what I can remember for right now...yes, my Grandma was strange, but I loved her soo much, and miss her everyday.
