WHEN A WOMAN IS EXPECTING A BABY, SHE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED
TO CRAVE ANYTHING. BECAUSE SHOULD SHE TOUCH HERSELF WHILE
DRAVING THAT PARTICULAR FOOD, THE BABY WILL BE MARKED WITH
A SYMBOL OF THE FOOD.
MY AUNT CRAVED STRAWBERRIES WHILE CARRYING MY COUSIN AND
MY COUSIN NOW HAS A HUGE RED BIRTHMARK BEHIND HER EAR.
MY GRANDMOTHER CRAVED THE RED CROWN OF THE ROOSTER,
WHICH IS A SPECIALTY IN ITALY, AND WHEN MY UNCLE WAS BORN
HE HAD THE SMALL RED CROWN ON HIS HEAD AND IT HAD TO BE
REMOVED BY A DOCTOR AND HE STILL HAS THE MARK ON HIS HEAD.

DOCTORS ARE NEVER WRONG
THIS IS A SURE FIRE METHOD FOR A DOCTOR TO BE 100% CORRECT
IN DETERMINING THE SEX OF THE UNBORN CHILD: TELL THE
MOTHER ONE SEX VERBALLY AND WRITE THE OPPOSITE ONE DOWN
ON PAPER FOR FUTURE USE. WHEN THE BABY IS BORN, THE
DOCTOR SAYS DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME SAYING THAT, AND IF
SHE OBJECTS, THAT SHE KNOWS HE SAID THE OPPOSITE, HE
PULLS OUT THE PAPER AND PRESENTS THAT TO HER AS EVIDENCE
THAT HE SAID THAT SEX.
