Did your mom ever apply spit to keep your cowlick down?

1. My mom used to spit on a clean tissue and use that to spot clean our faces.

2. My mother, too, but she would just use her thumb. n/t

7. My mom too.

If she spotted a dirty spot, she would lick her hankie and wipe us off..

3. Ah yes, the pre-church, parking lot spit bath.

My brother and I were on the receiving end of many of those.

5. That's what she said, but I never had a cowlick. I think she just liked to spit on my head.

8. uh..yes

Hi,
Heck yes, and even as adult, I sometimes revert to that method using my own, but usually try water first. I got a wicked cowlick.

On a side note, I noticed someone mention kleenex, amazing how mom's are *never* without a kleenex. My mom would pull one out of gosh knows where anytime one was needed.

Peace

11. I wish I had pics.

I was lookin pretty slick as a 5 yr old in the 60's.

13. Yup.

My mom used the pink kind.

14. No, but YOUR mom apply spit to me

Anyway, I believe the correct idiom is "giraffelick." Unless a female giraffe is called a "cow" for some ridiculous reason.
