Ok, sounds silly i know, but i have heard this phrase alot since i was a kid and wondered if there is any truth in it? For years one side of my bed was against the wall so i only had one choice of side to get out of!! I wonder if this has caused any of the misfortune i suffered during this time??
Well if you did try to get out of bed the wrong side - i.e against the wall - it would be a bad start to the day as you'd probably bang your head which would put you in a bad mood - I'm in a bad mood every morning - like a bear with a sore head - my mum used to say !!
I think it had something to do with sailors and hammocks ?
This is just a myth. My mother still says it to me now. When I asked her what she meant by it, she said it's just a saying which has been going around for years...if you're grumpy in the morning basically!
