I used to whistle,....Mom didn't like me whistling
She would say...'' Whistling girls and crowing Hens always come out to very bad ends''
It never made sense to me and she refused to explain.
In retrospect I think She thought only boys should whistle , so if I was whistling maybe she thought I was being ''boyish'' .....therefore...I would not grow up the ''right way ''.
It was a good thing she didn't know I was climbing trees... ! !
By the way....I did grow up the way my Beloved MOM thought was the right way.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
You now have got my hunny's brain and mine working at this now....LOL
