Yep, my family, too-- if you drop a piece of food, someone has "begrudged" it.
Other family sayings:
If your right hand is itching, you are going to shake hands with a stranger. If your left hand is itching, you are going to come into money.
If your ears are ringing, someone is talking about you (that is another common one.)
A cure for asthma in a child is to stand him/her against a tree and drive in a nail above their head-- when they grow past the level of the nail, the asthma will be cured (my grandmother did that with me (
that one isn't original to my family either.)
