Growing up in a Latino household meant that there were a lot of hardcore superstitions running rampant throughout daily life. Superstitious beliefs go together with Hispanic homes in the way that rice and beans and chanclas do. They just fit. 

From purses on the floor to itchy palms, we've gathered the top eight superstitions every Latino grew up with, and put them in a list, of course. And here they are. 

Don't Put Your Purse on the Floor

Listen, you like your money, right? Well you won't have any if you put that purse on the floor. So pick it up, fool. And if there's no where feasible to hang it from, then you'll have to just hold it in your lap while a thousand of your cousins climb all over you, or try to balance it on your knee as your mom lectures you about why you're still single and now broke.

Because you put your purse on the floor, obviously.

Itchy Palms Means Dollar Signs

Want to fix that issue you had after you put your purse on the floor? You know, the broke one? Well, you can't if you scratch that itchy palm of yours. If your hands itch -- you knew knew not to scratch. That was bound to get your palm slapped by whatever relative was walking by.

Rather, you were to slip it in your pocket like a normal person, because itching meant money was coming, and where should money go? Your pockets. Everyone knows that.

No Haircuts Til the First Birthday

Or at least tip that kid is walking. You can't cut a child's hair before his first birthday; it will stop them from learning to walk. And then what will you do?!

Every River Had a Version of La Llorona

La Llorona was just about the scariest child-drowning ghost ever. And somehow -- somehow -- the crying ghost who haunts the river happens to be everywhere all at once. She's at every river, every waterway, every anything she can be at, and in every Latino community that ever existed.

Brooms Have Some Serious Powers

Want to make sure your guest leave? Place that broom upside down behind a door, fool! But be careful if you're using it to actually sweep or something; you don't want to run the broom bristles over your single cousin's foot. After all, brushing the foot of a single person will mean that you've destined them to be single forever -- which is a fate worse than death in most Latino households.

Just watch the broom. Seriously.

The Teeth Dreams Mean Either A) Death, or B) A Baby

Had a dream that your tooth fell out? Well, someone's gettin' knocked up. Or someone's dying, depending on who you're talking to. Either way, those tooth dreams are pretty darn serious in Latino households, so make sure you pay attention to them.

Not that they didn't already freak you out or something.

Watch Out for Ojo

Feeling bad out of nowhere? Stomachache that won't go away? Eh, it's probably not some bacteria-borne illness. It's just oho. Oh, and you'll need an egg and some old Latino lady who knows what she's doing to remove it.

But don't worry. You get oho by people being envious of you. And stop staring at that pretty girl! You're going to give it to her, too.

And Also Burning Ears

Are your ears burning? Oh, it just means someone's talking about you. Better check your friends; they're probably gossiping about whatever you did last week. That's the only reason your ears would burn, you know.
