When I was a young girl of about the age of 4-5, I was told by my grandparents that if you wore a bathing suit into the bath tub while washing, potatoes would grow out of your ears and clog them up so you couldn't hear.
I don't know where in this world they got that idea from, but it was a good white lie to keep me from "swimming" in the bath tub.
