I thought it would be fun if we traded stories about some old superstition that you used to hear at home. Do you have a few of your own ? Are you superstitious at all ? Have you told you kids some admonishments along these lines ?

My dad used to say that if you hear of one death, you'll hear of 3. It usually happens like that.

Knock on wood, which a lot of people do to this day, salt over the left shoulder and a purse or bag given as a gift must have a coin inside, which my wife whole heartily believe in, the Greeks have a good one, what ever door you enter their house you must leave the same way.

Almost all of the things you all have said were things my parents said to me. Apparently, in my parents' day, colds were contracted through bare feet. Watermelons grew from seeds in your belly, and swallowing gum would grow into a gigantic wad the more you swallowed. If you crossed your eyes or made a face, it would freeze that way.
And, of course, they always questioned, when you did something stupid because your friends had done it, if you would jump off a bridge if your friends did that, too.
