when I sneeze it is loud and proud, my daughter does that little tiny noise that sounds like a stifled sneeze but isn’t. I prefer mine, it clears my head.
Actually Grandpa’s version is more correct. Noses do get larger for people with allergies or other sinus or lung problems.Also high blood pressure may account for the red nose often attributed to heavy drinking.

That’s not true, of course, but I once sprained my throat muscles in almost exactly that way.

Well… I did give myself pneumonia for two months by doing that, so I guess it’s a wash.

There may be something to Opal’s version. I shudder when I encounter someone stifling a sneeze, wondering what it does to their sinuses.

Hurray for messing with their minds! There is a very small window of opportunity because children wise up, so I say, “go for it!”

And if you pick your nose your nostrils will get big and if you crack your knuckles you’ll get arthritis…

Stifling a sneeze can cause injury to the sinuses and/or ear drums.

My Grandmother told me the same thing! Oh, she also warned me not to swallow Watermelon seeds!

Just wait till Earl shows Nelson how to make the fart sound with his armpit …hmmmm Opal?

Blowing your nose hard can encourage an ear ache/infection. But that hardly gives any credibility to Gramma’s claim.

Nelson asks..“Ok..grandma…what falls out when you fart?”
