I havent read teh whole thread but...

my chinuch teacher in highschool TAUGHT us that if women drink havdalah wine they will grow a beard. I still don't drink it.

also, I always held the candle at the same height as myself saying "I don't want a tall husband" and he is exactly my height. Can't there be some truth to these baba meisahs?

that Hashem 'puts' children into a kallah while under the chupa..... (that's how children are born)

I REALLY believed this, and the few times I was present at a chasana while a child, used to wonder when that 'second' that Hashem was putting them in, was.

when I asked how someone could get pregnant not married - it comes from hanging around boys too much. but don't worry it doesn't happen with brothers.

About the chewing gum, I believed it lasted 7 years. So each time I'd swallow a piece I'd figure out how old I'd be when it came out! My daughter, in preschool at the time, really believed the apple seeds growing in you thing.

my aunt, believe it or not, told me that if I stood in a cow pat I would grow to be tall.

I also tell my daughter to hold the havdala candle high for a tall chatan.

when I was young my sister use to take the 'prizes' they use to put in to the cereal boxs and she use to tell me don't worry you see there is still apart of the plastic on the bottom of the box there will be another one growing there just wait and see. well I stocked all the boxs up and waited and waited and nothing happened but each time I still believed her. boy was I stupid.

eating cookie dough gives u worms (still can't get myself to eat cookie dough ice cream)
If u go out of room through the window u will stop growing.

Grates on the sidewalk: alligaters live under, bite your foot

Huge Light that you see going from one end of the sky to the other (usuallly seen in hollywood): E.T looking for his mother!

Biting my nails: nails form together making a snake

When I was little I asked why do we have hair on our arms? Our great grandparents were lions.

Huge spiders live in palm trees and fall on your head if you sit under it.

There are many more, I am not kidding about any of them!!!! My DH cracks up at some of the things I still believe!! More to come....
