Making Wishes on Eyelashes?

Question

what does that mean? how do you do it? is it for real or is it just an old wives tale?

Answer 1

haah omg my mom  used to tell me to do that every time they fell!

i think its just for a wish.... but i could be mistaken

and i just put the eyelash on my palm! and blow! lmaoo

its prolly just some weird superstition type thing....dont really know!

interesting question!

Answer 2

In Thailand we believe that it means someone is missing you or literally translated 'thinking of you'.

I would say if you believe in a wish enough it will come true!!

Answer 3

My mom also taught me this one and I grew up doing it for fun. When an eyelash would fall out we would pinch it between our finger and thumb. You guess weather it will be on your finger or thumb when you stop pinching then make your wish and open your fingers. If you chose correctly your wish will come true when you blow it away from your fingertips.

Answer 4

What it means is if you find your eyelashes hiar come out like when after washing face, then you keep them in the top of your hand, make a wish and blow them away. Probably an old wives tale, pal. But sometimes I still like to do it !:)
