          I can remember getting a right mouthful from my Mum when I were just a nipper. She used to say that if the cows were lying down it was going to rain. We went past a field one day and some cows were lying down and some were standing. I asked if that meant we were going to have showers. She got quite 'rorty' with me!

              Ha ha I used to say that to my son when he was little to get him to eat his crusts, (My Gran always said it to me) and now he has so much curly hair that it hangs in ringlets when it gets long!!

              He NEVER eats crusts now

                  Going out with wet hair will give you Pneumonia.

                  Putting Butter on a kittens paws will mean it can find its way home.

                    And here's me 50 years later thinking that butter was put on their paws so that they would not find there way home as they would lick the scent off. Usefull after moving house.............so I thought. You learn something new everyday.
