Life’s Greatest Mysteries Revealed

I will try to explain some of life’s greatest mysteries to you in this post. You will be dazzled by some of what you will read here. Actually, that is not true. You won’t be dazzled in any shape or form, but you will still have a good chuckle.

So what is this really about, well it is about some of the things you believed as a kid. When I think of some of the things our parents and grandparents told us as a kid, I can’t help but have a “WTF were they thinking!” moment.  

So my grandparents told us we don’t whistle at night. Why, because you will invite ghosts! Now if you grew up in my hometown, ghosts were a terrifying thing. Do you think I ever whistled? Heck no! But now I look back and think “WTF was that about!” Also they told as you don’t whistle while taking a shower, if you do someone in your family will pass. WTF right? Which of our ancestors thought it was a good idea to scare kids. I came to find out, the not whistling in the bathroom thing is just so you don’t waste or spend a lot of time there since it was a shared bathroom. But really, lets think about this, how much time can you really spend in the bathroom with one bucket of water to shower with? I am still yet to find out the real reasoning behind not whistling at night. My assumption is that, it was how they imposed “noise” ordinance in the village at night. I plan on consulting the chief in my village to explain to me how that came to be. I will let you know when I find out. 

Here is another one – you don’t sweep at night! Why? You will be sweeping your wealth away. WTF, I never swept at night and yet here I am. Still waiting for my wealth. Also the whole village must have swept at night because the village remains the same. Actually, I take that back. I don’t have to walk too far now to get to the KVIP. Most people now have toilet and bathroom attached to their house. Aaaaa, now that I think about it, I think the no sweeping at night thing is working out for us. Now you know the secret to becoming wealthy. I told you I was going to explain some of the world’s greatest mysteries. You are welcome!

I am going to let you in on another secret, I guess you can call it a mystery as well. Often times, my friends have wondered how it is that I eat so much and yet manage to stay the same size? You will actually be surprised when I tell you. It is actually one of those things I learned from my village. Did you know that if you stretch while eating you will not grow big? WTF right? Not like an exercise kind of stretch o. Just a stretch like what you do when you get out of bed in the morning. That kind of long stretch to make your body feel good. Yep, that’s the one! Just do it a couple of times while eating. No need to worry about what the food will do to your body. Again, you are welcome! 

And if you happen to eat too much and feel stuffed…sweep your stomach with a broom. It speeds up your metabolism. How do I know? Ask the elders in my hometown. So now you know my secret about how I eat so much and stay the same. Thank me later!

I am sure you have your own superstitions from your village that you look back on now and think…WTF were they thinking! Do share some of them, I would love to hear about them.
