Do you know any old wives tales? Here are a few I can remember.

Put butter on a burn. Don't swallow gum, it will make your insides stick together, or it will not digest for years. Toads give you warts. TV makes you go blind. Don't go out with wet hair...you will get a cold. Wait an hour after eating before swimming or you will get cramps. Don't eat lunch meat without bread...you will get worms. All of these wives tales are untrue. Butter makes the burn worse. Gum digests just like any other food. Toads do not give your warts, and TV does not make you go blind, although you may get eye strain. Colds are caused by germs...not wet hair. You may get cramps anytime while swimming...food has nothing to do with it. And, finally, what would eating bread have to do with preventing worms?
