- When a childs' tooth fell the old people believed in making the child stand with his back to the fire and take the tooth in his right hand - make the sign of the cross and then throw the tooth back over his left shoulder. They believed if this was not done that the tooth would not grow again.
- Old people had the same kind of belief about spilling salt. They said spilling salt was a sign of bad luck and that except a person threw a grain of the salt over his left shoulder he would have no luck.
