My mom used to tell me on my birthday that if I didn't finish my piece of cake, I wouldn't turn a year older.

I get paid over $180 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home.

my mum told me that if i drink too much water i will grow frogs in my stomach, and i was worried it is true especially when i did drink and heard funny noises ( like a splash) from my stomach when i moved suddently.

My Mom told me I looked like a baby monkey when I was born. she said I had hair not only on my head but on my shoulders and back. She said it went away because I was a baby but that it would come back if I didn't behave. I checked for a long time to make sure it hadn't come back when I did something naughty. She finally told me that it was just baby fuzz and that it wasn't gonna come back!

I told my daughter the tall chimney near the university hospital was a crematorium and we need do stop breathing for a moment while passing to not inhale the souls.
