Those Old Wives' Tales

Over Christmas Dad Sandvik tried out the ol' needle on a string test with me (and Amber and Heather... :) ) I can't remember now if it swung side to side or in a circle over my wrist but I finally found some answers! I found an Old Wives' Tales website full of some curious tales. The pregnancy ones are near the bottom but I would suggest reading through the others! WHOA! I am thinking a lot of these were created for the express purpose of keeping young girls in line around the house... "If you sit on the kitchen table you will never marry." "Make your bed foot to head or you will have bad dreams." Is there any other way to make a bed? Have fun! Maybe this weekend I will try the needle on a string again!
