OMG, I cannot even imagine taking my mothers advice. I had a flash of my mom in an MD coat coming into the room, with all of her old hillbilly back woods cures.

Dont hang clothes on the line while pregnant, you tie the babies cord in a knot.

Put butter on burns

use sugar to cure the hiccups.

I just saw a flash of all the old wives tales she spouted at me over the years. Even after I graduated with my MSN in nursing. HA!
