How about this one, If your left hand itches you are going to get money and if the right itches you will shake hands with a stranger
I could go on and on with these things but I think my favorite is the one where you are making ugly faces at someone and your mom says to yo"your face is going to freeze like that one of these times"

If your ears are itching, company is coming.
The lower a hornets nest hangs in the tree, the colder the winter will be.
When moving to a different house, leave your broom in the old house for good luck.
Never hand an open pocket knife to someone or you will have bad luck.
Do not open an umbrella inside a house.
Do not drink milk while eating fish, it can be deadly.
These are just some I have heard over the years.

I have heard 1,3,&4. I heard "If your ears are burning, someone is talking about you."
It is true about the bathroom, go in and if the kids don't come I can say for sure the dogs all have to come and hang out.

Love reading all these! Thanks to EVERYONE for sharing. I am having a ball reading these! I hope everyone else is enjoying this too. It is bringing back some wonderful childhood memories! I think even if our kiddos or Gks don't appreciate them, I still think they should be passed on!
Thanks for the memories!
Keep 'um coming.

If your nose itches, you will have a fight or kiss a fool.
If you sweep UNDER someones feet (like they lift their feet while sitting down, so you can sweep under them) they will never get married again.
If you hit your mother, your hand will stick out of your grave.

If it rains while the sun is shining it will rain at the same time the next day. If you touch a frog you will get warts on your hands. If you eat a whole cup of nuts at one time you will die before the next morning. Any stitch you do on Sunday you will have to remove on Monday.If you get a fright while you are pregnant and touch your face the baby will have a birthmark on that spot on it's face. I could go on all day my DM was just full of them.
