My mom told me that jalapenos and other hot peppers burned all the germs out of you and made you healthy.

She also thought that leg bones have vertebrae.

My mom told me that "diddling" my sister would make us have ugly babies. I was like 5 years old or something.

My Grandma once told me that I stacked the firewood "dorky". She was in her sixties and I was a teenager it was like totally bodacious hearing her say "dorky".

Another thing...

One time my family was at my grandmother's for dinner. She had a variety of 2 liter bottles of pop (coke, root beer, etc.). I wanted to put 1/2 of one & 1/2 of another in my glass. She said no, that I had to pick one or the other because it was unfair to other people if I wasted it.

WTF?

So it's better that I take a full glass of one than 1/2 glass of both? WTF difference does it make if I drink it either way?

To this day I still don't understand the logic behind that.

ViperGTS,

The logic behind that is if you made a concoction too disgusting to drink, it would end up getting poured down the sink. When my children alter their food in any way, I warn them that the altered food must be consumed 100% by themselves, because no one wants food after it's been molested by children.

It was a combination I'd done many times before, so I had no doubt I'd drink it.

This isn't really stupid, more funny.

Back in high school I had a girlfriend sleep over one night and the next morning while en route to breakfast my father said "way to go stud"
