Our parents convincing us that when we lose a tooth (or a cow tooth), the sun replaces it with a bride’s tooth. Does that make any sense? No? Thought so. “Ya shams ya shamoosa, khodi sennet el gamousa w haty sennet el 3aroosa.”

Eating cucumber will make your eyes turn green while eating tomatoes will make your cheeks turn pink. Hmmm believable.

Screaming in the bathroom will wake up the devil. Makes a little bit of sense since the bathroom is the devil’s home right? Pffff.

Don’t play with scissors because you will probably be cutting through the angels around you… Like, seriously?

If you had a nightmare where you were naked, it probably means that you were cold.
