My childhood was full of haints and scary stuff, myths and legends! A few: When I was little I loved olive juice from the olive jar. My mother told me it would stick my guts together if I drank it. I would sneak a drink from the jar and then drink lots of water to unstick my guts. Also If I stood upside down or hung upside down my liver would flip over. Santa would put pepper in my eyes if I was awake when he came. When with my cousins and we were all playing in a room at night and screamed and shouted we would be told we would wake the dead. I was terrified about the dead coming to get us so made everyone be quiet. If I was bad during the day at night the old devil would come and wrap a hot chain around my neck and drag me off. The Bogey Man lived behind the curtained doorway of my grandmother's pantry.
