If my Mum thought I was up to no good she would say " don't forget I have my weather eye on you" I never quite knew what her weather eye was but imagined it was somewhere on her body but did know where!
Obviously it was her mother's instinct!!

I remember being told not to suck my paintbrush as the paint would make me poorly I was very serious about this and neve4 did and then one morning without thinking I found myself sucking the end of my paintbrush I was terrified I was going to die and I remember running to find my Nan saying am I going to die

Be careful if the wind changes you'll stay like that

Often said by my mum if I was being mardy or moody or crying

As a young child I was eating an apple, which included the pips.

Mum looked at me and told me not to eat the pips as an apple tree would grow outside the top of my head!

I was fascinated and every morning
I would look in the mirror to see if I could see any shoots or leaves coming through my head. I truly believed I saw two leaves! 😂

I look back now and think how could I have ever believed it?

My mum did own up in the end. In case you wondered I never did grow that tree 🌲

What tall stories did you hear and believe as a child?
