I had always thought that everyone always wanted to do their best, lived by the Golden Rule, and all strangers are friends that we never met yet.......

My mother used to tell us those white specks on your fingernails represented the lies you told. When she suspected us of lying she asked us to hold out our hands.

My heritage is from Italy and I asked my father when we could go visit and he said when they built a bridge. My elem school teacher once asked where in the world we would love to go and I told her we were going to Italy when they built a bridge. She laughed and laughed and when I got home I repeated that story to my father who laughed as well. It wasn't until years later I realized what I had said. :oops:

When I was little I deposited my coin collection into the bank thinking it was "safe" there. Of course my collection was gone! (The owner of the bank was a coin collector - I bet he was happy - I had OLD coins in very, very good condition)

I also thought that if someone said "I'll call you for lunch" or something like that, that people actually mean it. I mean it but I've found others don't.

My hubby thought that if you went backwards on a sewing machine it would take the stitches out.

When I was 8, and it was a winter day, I thought if everybody on the planet came outside and exhaled, that it would warm up.

Do any of you have any?

Let's see, of the 3, celery, rhubarb, and money in the bank, I can answer Yes.
I do have celery

Why do we say plan ahead instead of just plan?
We don't plan behind.

When cows laugh too hard does milk come out of their noses?

My DD came crying to me when younger because someone told her that she looked like me. Told her that she did, she got very upset telling me that she didn't look like me because she didn't have "gray" hair.
