My brother used to tell me that I needed to eat the skins off my potatoes. If I did, I could grow whiskers. Apparently, this is something our parents told him when they couldn't afford to waste any money on food. As a GIRL, I was not as thrilled by the prospect of growing whiskers and to this day shy away from potato skins.
