My mother gave me the story of 'smash the bottom of the eggshell so the witches can't use them as boats ' line too. Is it particularly English? Mum grew up in rural Suffolk and was full of Old Wives' tales. I remember the day I came home with a branch of Hawthorne in bloom (still love that smell) and she threw a fit! Witches tree and must never come into the house! Then we got all the Irish lore thrown in from granny on Dad's side too!
