The buttercup experiment x

When you were little, how many of you did the buttercup experiment, to see if you liked butter? I definitely did, but here’s the sad part, apparently my sister liked butter, but she doesn’t! It wasn’t scientifically accurate

What other old wives tales can you remember doing, that proved accurate, or false, for you?

"Pencils under the bust. Forget whether I passed or failed"

No point with mine tbh, but I remember that one too x Do you think there’ll be women trying this again now? Haha- if there are, results please! x

Eating crusts will make your hair grow curly and carrots will make you see in the dark.

I never ate/eat crusts and have curly hair, and I’ve never been able to see in the dark even though I love carrots.

I think that many of these old wives tales should have been taken to task under the trades description act. We’ve been conned for years! xx

Sitting too close to the tv would make your eyes go square

If you poked your tongue out and the wind changed you’d stay that way

If you lied your tongue would turn black but only your mum could see it

Christ, no wonder I need therapy

Touching dandelions would make you wet the bed.

We even called them peethebeds.

There and to the left a bit

If you swallowed the pips in fruit a tree would grow inside you

So far no branches have sprouted out of my nostrils and ears as a result of doing so...only hairs

Stop pulling that face or else the wind will turn and you’ll stay like that forever

“If the wind changes your face will stay like that” normally said to be when I was a stroppy teenager.

Well, the wing changed and I ain’t stroppy faced now, so must have been a load of old shite

I can't remember the last time I saw a buttercup. Next time I see the kids I'm going to do this.

My mum used to tell my little brother that his “winky would fall off” if he kept touching it.

So let this be a warning to all the wankers out there- not only will you go blind, but it will fall off!! xx

Cows lie down when it’s going to rain. Used to confuse me if there were some still standing, like they were indecisive xx

If you lie, your eyes change colour.

Potatoes will grow in your ears if you don't wash behind them.

Ice cream vans play music to tell you they've run out of ice cream.

We still use the cows as a marker for rain. Done still standing means it’s changeable... it could look like rain but not rain haha

Opening an umbrella indoors or putting new shoes on the table was bad luck in our house... it got extended to nothing new on the table
