Old Wives Tales - Please share your favorite

[Ann]

I just love old wives tales and superstitions, do you have any that you would like to share.

One that I like is that when you see cattle laying down in the fields it means it is going to rain. My uncle on the farm told me that one years ago. Next time you see a cow laying down in the field check the weather forcaste and see if it is going to rain.

BROOM TALES!

Do not lean a broom against a bed. The evil spirits in the broom will cast a spell on the bed.

If you sweep trash out the door after dark, it will bring a stranger to visit.

If someone is sweeping the floor and sweeps over your feet, you'll never get married.

Never take a broom along when you move. Throw it out and buy a new one.

To prevent an unwelcome guest from returning, sweep out the room they stayed in immediately after they leave.

Eating potato salad on a picnic can give you food poisoning.
