Anecdotes we were taught.

We were all taught them, be they true are false.

A share would be nice.

I recall 2 specifics.

1. "You'll take somebody's eye out doing that."

(I don't recall seeing a friend with a missing eye due to a mate swinging or prodding).

2. "Now, come on son, finish the skin of your roast pototo. THAT'S the best part, that is!"

(I'm, no nutritionist, but is it?)

1. It does happen. My uncle (mother's youngest brother) had a glass eye. His older brother did it playing with a catapult.

2. Apparently not. "In potatoes, the skin consists mostly of dead cells filled with a waxy, largely vitaminless substance whose chief function is to protect the potato's insides. However, skin does keep vitamins from being boiled ...[text shortened]... ausea, and diarrhea if eaten in sufficiently large amounts."

So, one right and one wrong.

"Come on Stees, eat your beans they'll put hair on your chest" (Ok folks but why would you want my little sister to have hair on her chest?)

Lol.

1. I wasn't really referring to things like a catapult, more like swinging a cushion or throwing a frisbee! (not the latter, just humour)...

-m. 😉

I like the skin, cuz I'm selfish and it sure scares um, people, away.

and talk waaaaaaaaaaay too much.

of your big fat, swedish mouth O with lava soap;
if this doesn't slow your square jaw [..] down,
i'm telling your mother
to call the fire
department
and cops.

Interesting use of the word anecdote
