Things My Mum Used to Say

Bengali Girls Don't wear their hair uncovered. Because, as my mum said, "When you die your hair will turn into snakes and bite you."


Bengali Girls Don't talk back. Because,as my mum said, "When you die your tongue will be crucified."


Bengali Girls Don't drop salt. Because, as my mum said, "When you die you'll have to pick it up with your eyelashes.


Bengali Girls Don't stand up and eat. Because, as my mum said, "It goes into a dog's belly," meaning you eat more (i.e. get fat).
