GROSS stuff
· People who were poor had to dig holes outside and go the bathroom. Rich people went the bathroom in the morning in a fruit bowl and then throw the waste out the window. Be careful or you can get a big yellow and brown shower!
· Women’s red lipstick is made from crushed beetles.
· People thought that it would be inappropriate for a ladies ankle or elbow to show!
· A wig is seldom washed. You may see people using a pick to pick their wigs, where lice live!
· Watch out for piles of pig and horse mess on the road. Also, be aware of the smell of garbage and rats.
· You should be careful when visiting New York because Dutch houses have house gutters that release water. Be careful or you might get wet….
Crazy Stuff

· In church, if you sit anywhere different than your assigned spot, you will be fined!
· If you talk in school, you could get in big trouble! They get the whispering stick which is a gag like stick that is put in the mouth and held in place with cloth.
· Men at a chopping bee (Tree chopping festival) sometimes used ropes to command where the trees fall. Sometimes the direction is unpredictable, and people have been killed by falling trees.
· You are not allowed to post sad or disappointing stuff in the newspaper, which is better because today, they everything is disappointing. For Example, houses burning down, people getting killed, and stuff exploding.
· People who’ve been accused of witchcraft will be tied to a chair and go in the water for 1 hour. If they survive people think they’re a witch. If they don’t, that’s a great way to kill a person!
