It is no wonder...

It is no wonder I grew up to be a neurotic mess. My entire family is a psychiatrist dream. I was just thinking back to when I first started feeling anxious, and it probably started before I was even born. My mother used to tell us all sorts of awful things would happen to us and I would obsess over these grisly tales she told...here are a few for your viewing pleasure....
A few things my mom used to tell me..
Dont swing to high on the swing, it will flip over the top and break your neck.
You cant dye your hair, it will turn to straw and fall out.
Do not eat that, it will make your teeth rot out of your head
Do not sit so close to the tv you will go blind
Do not ride roller coasters you will fall off and die
Do not swim in peoples pools, they may have a whirlpool and you will drown
Do not pick your nose your finger may go into your brain and kill you.
Do not touch the car door while I am driving, the door may open and you will fall out on the road
Do not walk around with a sucker in your mouth, you will fall and the sucker will kill you
Cut your steak away from your body or your knife will slip and you will stab yourself
Do not ever use salt or your blood pressure will get high and your kidneys will fail
If you do not brush your hair a spider will think it is a nest and lay eggs in it
Do not go in the ocean a rip tide will pull you out and you will drown
Do not walk on the beach with no shoes you will get your toes cut off on broken glass
Do you use a snorkal, a bee could fly down it and sting inside your throat and you will die
Do not buy ice cream from the ice cream truck, it could be poisoned
If you drink out of a drinking fountain it could be poisoned as well..
If you wear shoes with no socks you will get an infection
If you wear no underwear you will get an infection
If you sit in a wet bathing suit you will get an infection
If you eat a jaw breaker you will choke and die
Even if the olives are supposed to be pitted there may still be a pit and you will choke and die


And on and on and on..oh and most of these stories were followed by her telling me about somedody she knew that had this happen to them...niiice...
