PREGNANCY BELIEF
INFORMANT HAS BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES BY HER PATIENTS, MOSTLY
POOR BLACK GHETTO RESIDENTS, THAT A BABY WILL LOOK
LIKE THE PERSON THE PREGNANT WOMAN HATES THE MOST. A POSSIBLE
PARTIAL EXPLANATION OF THIS IS THE HIGH PERCENTAGE OF DESERTED MOTHERS,
HATING THE LOST FATHER, OR LOVERS, SEE A RESEMBLANCE IN THE CHILD TO THE FATHER.

GOOD FRIDAY
IN ITALY, ON GOOD FRIDAY, IT WAS A CUSTOM FOR THE PEOPLE TO TAKE
NOISEMAKERS TO CHURCH. AT A PRESCRIBED TIME DURING THE SERVICES,
EVERYONE WOULD BEGIN MAKING NOISES. SOMETIMES THIS WOULD BE A PIECE
OF WOOD AND A HAMMER AND NAILS--ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE NOISE.
ALSO IF SOMEONE IN FRONT OF YOU HAD A COAT ON AND LAID IT ON
THE PEW, YOU MIGHT NAIL THE COAT TO THE PEW AS A TYPE OF PRANK.
