There are a lot of interesting beliefs here in Armenia. To list a few, they believe that pregnant women should never swim because they will drown their babies; the believe that if you shave a little girls head when she is 3, her hair will grow in thicker and shinier (so you see a lot of bald little girls in the summer time); they believe that sweating causes the flu, and that being cold actually causes the common cold.
Yesterday, when I picked Ava up from pre-school I started talking to her teacher about all the wonderful things the children learned that day. They had a guest speaker come in to talk to them about germs! Ava learned that germs cause sickness. She learned that she should cover her mouth with a tissue when she coughed, and to wash her hands. Important stuff. After her teacher was done recapping the high points of the day, she noticed that Van was not with me. She asked about him, and I replied that he was home sick.
"What is wrong with him?" she asked.
"He has been throwing up," I answered.
"Maybe he ate something bad?" she asked
"No, It has been going on for 2 days, I think he just caught a bug," I replied.
Her response, "Oh, well he probably just got too cold and that is why he is sick."
Really? REALLY? Did you not listen with your pre-school kids about germs? *Bang head here....

Yeah, when the weather hits 60 degrees you should be wearing winter coats, wool socks and mittens or else you'll get the flu. Obviously that's what happened to Van..... :)
P.S. talk about pregnant brain, holy cow! So today I left my car running for a couple mins and totally forgot about it for 2 hrs (my gas light was on when I came out) and then I just spent 10 minutes trying to remember how to spell "wool". Woal? wholl? wole? Yeah, I went there.... goodness!
Sounds like they're really behind times!!
