For some reason...unbeknownst to us all, my grandmother told us that if we ever kissed our elbow we would turn into the opposite sex. I had no idea what that was about since we had never tried such a thing! I don't even know if it can be done. I am ashamed to say, I have always been afraid to try on the off chance I make contact! :-)
