My mother had a more sinister take on whistling indoors. When I was very little and first learning to whistle, I tried it once (and only once) indoors. I say only once because she clouted me so hard I nearly saw God. When I picked myself up off the floor, she told me that I was never, never to whistle indoors again, as it made the Virgin Mary cry. Apparently the soldiers whistled while they gambled over Christ's robes during the crucifixtion.

Sorry to be the dumb one around here, but can you elaborate, Wiintermoon? I'm enjoying this thread, as ever, but you've completely lost me there!akaWiintermoon said:After reminising with my family the other day, I remembered another one.
For years I really did think ash, "Is good for the carpet." and wondered why!

I thought everything had feelings, furniture, bugs, pens, you name it. Getting ice was the worst. When I took ice out of the ice tray, I would try and leave a few cubes near each other so they wouldn't get lonely. Later I started thinking what if the ice cubes I left near each other didm't get along, so I had to debate each time whether it was better to risk an ice cube being lonely or it having to put up with unfriendly cubes.
I have a friend who works at a swimming pool and assures me that this is true! But she said its a purple colour!!!Impybat said:Another one was my uncle who told us that if we peed in the pool, a red line would follow us.
