5)   A watched pot never boils.

6)   Chewing on bread can stop you crying when peeling onions.

7)   If you touch a toad, you'll get warts.

8)   If you pick your nose your finger will get stuck up there.

9)   Step on a crack, break your mother's back.

10)  Cut hair grows back faster.

11)  Chocolate causes spots (pimples in the USA)
