We want to hear your story
We want to hear what old wives’ tales were popular in your family. Did — or do — you believe them? What makes you believe or disbelieve them? How long have they been passed down through the family?
Send us your old wives’ tale stories, with a photograph or two (jpeg, at least 300 dpi) if available, and we’ll publish our favorites in a future issue. We’ll also feature a few here on our website. Email your stories and photos to tsmith@cappersfarmer.com or send them to Capper’s Farmer Editorial, Attn: Heart of the Home Department, 1503 S.W. 42nd St., Topeka, KS 66609.
