Old Wives Tales on Baby's Gender...

http://www.storknet.com/cubbies/pregnancy/owt1.htm

While researching something I found a page where people list some pretty
humorous old wive's tales for how to tell if you are having a boy or a girl.

I like the one about the key...the funny thing is I picked up a key earlier
today and remember picking it up the way that's supposed to tell you you're
having a girl. I am not sure you can objectively do it if you know ahead of
time as you will be aware of how you are picking up the key. If you're
curious, pick a key up before you read it! I had never heard that before.

I *feel* like it's a girl. I pick a key up like it's a girl. The left eye
thing tells me girl. A Chinese gender chart said girl (although a different
one said boy- one was based on my birthday the other one was based on
something a bit different). etc....this is fun...

It's probably a boy! LOL!

Too weird!

I pick up a key by the skinny part - girl
Lewis said mama - girl
Charlotte's 5 and wants a girl (don't think that counts - lol) - girl
Age and yr are both odd - girl
I show hands palms up - girl

I don't care enough to know to eat garlic or do the Draino test - lol

Chinagold.com says girl too

I no longer believe *any* old wives tales!

I had every girl one you can imagine. Especially the biggie ones like
heartbeat, bad morning sickness, conceiving 3 days before ovulation. Chinese
chart said girl too.

I think they're great fun and its so cool to speculate too. I enjoyed the
suprise when he came out a he - shocked everyone and that was the best.

If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a
horrible warning.

I was 100% convinced Lydia was going to be Oscar. It never
even crossed my mind it would be a girl. I had only blue
clothes in the baby draws, only knitted in blue, only gave
serious thought to boy's names. It was quite a shock when
she turned out to be a girl, and was nameless for 5 day's as
a result...lol
It was a lovely surprise though :-)

That one is just weird. I *always* should my hands palms up. I
*know* I am having a boy.

I don't know why you would show your hands palms down. That just doesn't
seem natural to me.
