weegegirl 2 #1 June 16, 2004 so, i just ate this apple, right? and just before i take my first bite i have this flashback to my childhood.... twist the apple stem round and round, whilst going through the alphabet. when the stem breaks off, that is the first letter of the man/woman you will marry. I got a "B". Remember any other childhood supersitions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACMESkydiver 0 #2 June 16, 2004 Yeah, this is how us pathetic Washington state kids scared ourselves...you're gonna laugh... Ok so we'd find a slug (not hard to do in Washington) and I mean a BIG slug (like 4-6 inches long) and we'd sit there and watch it move until it formed the shape of a letter...then whoever's name began with that letter, you were gonna DIE!!! Yeah, being named 'Jennifer', I always got shafted on that game...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #3 June 16, 2004 Man... it would have to be one tough apple stem or no one will ever get to "W" (Weegegirl). My first and last names start with "B", but that is probably just a coincidence, don't get your hopes up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misslmperfect 0 #6 June 16, 2004 man that brings back memories...the kids i grew up with were a little off i guess . i never did this because it hurt everyone else, but kids used to put salt in the palms of their hands, then put ice on top of the salt and close their hands. it would BURN your skin, and apparently the burn would be in the shape of a letter - that was the 1st letter of the name of the person you were gonna marry. no thanks....lol but the apple stem thing i remember well...it didnt work, i never got past E or F, and i married a WillOh Canada, merci pour la livraison!

yoink 321 #9 June 16, 2004 my gran always said whenever you saw a magpie before 12noon, you always had to bob your head to it and say "morning Mr. Magpie... how's your wife?" or get bad luck for the rest of the week... it still makes me giggle when I do it without thinking - I get some strange looks though!

champu 1 #11 June 16, 2004 We used to treat the apple stem twisting thing as another "she loves me, she loves me not" test, however it was not very analytical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conundrum 1 #12 June 16, 2004 My mom told me that if I swallowed a watermelon seed, I'd have a watermelon grow in my stomach. My grandpa told me that if a dragonfly lands on you, it will sew your skin together, (whatever the hell that means ) and needless to say, it freaked me out as a child.

freeflynick 0 #18 June 16, 2004 If you want more specifics on the person you will marry, once the stem has come off, revealing the first letter of their first name, take the stem and poke the top end of it against the apple skin repeatedly in the same spot while going thru the alphabet. When the skin breaks, that is the first letter of the last name of your future spouse. IT'S TRUE.DAMN IT!!! Hobbes: "How come we play 'War' and not 'Peace'?" Calvin: "Too few role models."
