When my brother and I were very young my mom would make homemade speghetti sauce and can it for future use. Every jar had a bay leaf in it and she told us that if we got it on our plate we had to lick it off and make a wish. When I told my 19 year old friend to lick it off and make a wish there was a HUGE uproar of laughter at the table. Joke was on me...guess she didn't want us to choke.

It just seemed so pointless!
