Aspirin, bananas and lemons.

Tweet

I believed my brother when he told me that if you eat a banana and drnk coke at the same time it's like taking drugs. That scared me. I always made sure that I only drank coke if I hadn't eaten a banana that day, but I was only six years old. Another story I fell for was that a person took aspirin and lemon their teeth would fall out. That one didn't worry me so much becauise I knew I was unlikely to be eating a lemon. Here on the island there are many such stories that people pass round, but not as a joke. It is sincerely believed by those who are gullible enough that if a girl eats too much fruit during her teenage years she will only have girl children, and no boys. That's seen as a bad thing, and many people believe it. I believe it ...... to be nonsense.
