I’m married to a Mexican woman. I haven’t heard of any of these, but I’ve heard a bunch:
- don’t take garbage out at night time or you’ll be throwing out money.
- don’t take an unbaptized baby into a cemetery
- don’t bring a baby or toddler near a pregnant woman or they’ll throw tantrums.
My dad loved his coffee with apple pie and ice cream was a must. The first time he had that combo in front of some of the locals they kept waiting for him to fall over.
About a month later they were saying, "yes, please" to the coffee with apple pie and ice cream. No one can say no to my mom's apple pie!
