I had to read it three times to get it 🤣
oh... I remembered when I was little, if the number of candles I blew out on the birthday cake, the number of boyfriends I will have that year. LOL.

Then if I blow all my candles this year, I'll get 21 boyfriends! 🤣
Another one: when you accidentally bit your tongue, that means someone's saying nasty things about you.

Those are pretty interesting. The one thing I can remember right now is the stigma of the number 4. Where I'm at, the buildings usually name the 4th floor the "F" floor, because 4 is considered unlucky.

But does that mean that I'll be "blowing" 22 boyfriends as a male? O_O

Ah, another version of that is "If you sneeze three times in a row, someone's saying nasty things about you or someone hates you"

4 is 四, in Chinese. And if it's pronounced deeper, it sounds like 死, which means "to die" or "dead" or "death" (all in one word!)
So.... maybe it spread to other cultures too =) ex. "ha! If the Chinese thinks so! It must be true!"

🤣 boys get girlfriends of course.
So next time people have birthday cakes, you should get as many candles as possible!! Fill the entire cake with wax 😀
you must eat your meals completely clean without leftovers since the plate will reflect the face of your future husband/wife

I can almost believe that. My youngest, shortest sib took a pencil to the chest in a fight in elementary school. Now in college,you can still see the lead that's healed behind the skin

Lead isn't really used in any pencils anymore. =_=
It is poisonous. And by this I mean lead, the ore. <.<
Others aren't really even lead.

In Chinese, it was pencil "sum" LOL. I thought it meant lead (because it's called lead pencil!)
