And this other time, oK, there was a girl and she walked under a ladder and the very next week she sneezed in front of the coolest kid in school and a BoGeY flew out of her nose and hit them RiGhT iN ThE LiP and they were sick! Coincidence? aS iF!
Scary stuff. But if you think YoU’vE GoT iT BaD dealing with dreadful superstitions like these, the Aztecs had some proper doozies . . .
Watch out! A jaguar!
