IF YOU PICK DANDELIONS, YOU WILL WET THE BED THAT NIGHT.

Submitter comment: INFORMANT HEARD THIS SAID WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD IN THE
1920S. SHE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THIS PRACTICE.
DANDELION'S ARE CALLED "PEE-THE-BEDS." INFORMANT HAS
USED THIS SINCE SHE WAS A CHILD IN THE 1920S AND STILL
USES THIS TERM TODAY.
