My mother had a ton of them. I can only remember a few.
If you wash your hair too often, it will fall out. Also, if you
use the hair dryer too often, your hair will fall out.
If you make an ugly face, at some point your face will freeze in
that position.
At the beach, if I spent more time playing in the salt water,
I'd tan. Uh, no. I had red hair and freckles and it was
hopeless.
My father was the one that told me that the puppy we had went to
go live on a farm. Turns out they bought him from a puppy mill
and he was very ill and well, you know... :'(

"When I was your age I walked to school barefoot through the
snow, up hill, both ways." ::)
"If you go swimming right after you eat you'll cramp up and
drown."
"Walking on bare floors will give you cramps." ::)
My parents were so weird.

On road trips, my father would point out the cows on the hills
and tell me that their legs on one side were shorter than the
other.

My friend's mother told her if she didn't rinse the dishes
completely, she'd get worms. :o

My mum told me the "if you eat your crusts, you will get curly
hair" one - completely backfired. As a child I didn't want
curly hair, so refused to touch a crust. And by the time I did
want curly hair, I was eating crusts anyway [and still not
getting curly hair].

That you get pregnant from eating watermelon seeds. Keep in mind
I was about 3. Not sure if my parents told me this it one of the
grands.

^ Someone [don't remember who] told me that eating pips/stones
would cause a tree to grow inside me...
Well, the day I get a cherry tree sprouting out of my mouth will
be the day I stop eating cherry stones! ;)

I've accidentally swallowed fruit stones, but is there a reason
you deliberately eat them? I can't imagine it's good for the
system even if not because of a tree.

I'd be worried about a blockage after too many!
Some fruit seeds/stones can contain cyanide (including cherry
pits), but it's only really an issue if the pits are
broken/crushed.

I got the tale about the bread crusts and curly hair too. And
everybody got the warning about swimming too soon after eating.
Mom told me that if I didn't quit rubbing my nose, it would grow
sideways. I was a kid with hay fever/allergies galore. You know,
it's bit crooked -- but probably because I had a little tumor
cut off one side of it some years ago.
She also told me that fiddling with and pulling my ears would
make one grow bigger than the other. It's a habit I still have.
Of course I had to test it a bit. I'm sure the nun(s) and my
classmates were puzzled when I spent long minutes in class
trying to measure my ears with thumb and forefinger to see if
they were equal. Oddly, nobody ever said anything to me about
it.
