Old Wives' Tales...

This morning I played Old Wives' Tales for awhile and I think it was completely undecisive...but let's review the results...

TEST #1 & #2
RESULT: Boy, 50/50












TEST #3
RESULT: GIRL

"Pick up a key. If you've picked it up by the thinner end, you're having a girl. Picking it up by the bottom, rounder part means a boy is on the way. Did you pick it up by the middle? Then congratulations! You're having twins" (Who picks up a key by the big end?)



TEST #4 & 5
RESULT: both GIRL

"Hold a pendant over your hand. If the necklace swings back and forth, you're having a boy. If it is more of a circular motion, then it's a girl. This can also be done by suspending a ring on a string above your belly."



TEST #6
RESULT: GIRL

"Do you have acne? Some believe that getting acne during your pregnancy indicates you're carrying a girl. Maybe the acne is caused by twice the amount of female hormones?"

FYI - I thought about taking a picture of a pimple...but I look gross enough without broadcasting it on the internet in pimple form...but rest assured, I DO have some pimples...


TEST #7
RESULT: GIRL

TEST #8:

It's a boy if:
