I'm from Poland, lived here for 18 years. My parents are polish too, and my mom keeps spewing these incredably ridiculous old wives tales. My favorite so far is that you need an odd number of BM.
any other superstitions that make people laugh, lets share the humor.

Then there's the one that if you take your e-ring or wedding ring, string it on a strand of your own hair and hold it over your left hand with your right hand you can find out how many kids you will have and what gender they will be. If it swings back and forth it will be a boy, in circles a girl. you place it down on you hand between each time.
I did it just to humor my mom, and it came out a boy, a girl and a boy.
I got
According to that, I'm having 6 kids!! (Which if what was stated before is true, then for me I think it's really 2)

Actually I heard the gold chain version. It works every time for my mom, my grandmother. I did it to my coworker. Works also for her. Freaky!!!!
I have never heard this before! It actually freaks me out. I am afraid to do it in case nothing happens! My SIL saw a palm reader for fun on their honeymoon. The woman told her she wouldn't have any children! They do have one now, but it really upset her.
Honestly, I would never do a palm reader. My great grand-mother did it one day as a joke. The old lady told her she was going to lose a man very close and dear to her in a few days. She thought she was talking about my great grand-father who had cancer. 3 days after the 'session', one of her sons died. He was 22 years old but got accidentally shot by one of his friends. We don't do palm reading in my family.
i just got then i stopped - it wasn't stopping, i want a large family but my mom had 4 miscarriages before she had my sister and i twins after being told she'd never have kids, so thi sjust kinda freaked me out and i'm generally not superstitious.
on the palm reader note: my neighbor across the street from my parents home is like family and my mother and her are best friends. she helped my mom through all the miscarriages and is so wonderful! One year for her birthday she decided to have a psychic come to the house for her party, she was reading all the womens futures when she turned and looked out the window and said she sees two blonde girls playing in the front yard of the house across the street. She then turned to my mom and said she would be blessed with the birth of two girls very soon (nobody mentioned/told the psychic that my mom lived across the street.) My mom and neighbor were so upset b/c she had just been told she'd never have kids and there are no natural blondes in my family. two months later she found out she was pregnant with twins, and as it turns out we are the only natural blondes.

My mom said the same thing about her wearing black! But she really wanted to wear it b/c she looks really good in it. So she is going with a two tone with black
