When I was about 5, I believed that if you put your arm around your friend's shoulders, you'd have a one-armed baby when you grow up. I spent hours praying to God everytime I forgot and put my arm around my friends. I used to throw fits when people interrupted me because it meant I had to start my prayer all over again - I got interrupted a lot. I'm 24 now and my family members still use the story as a trump card to win any and all arguments with me.
