They believe in it 100% - if they see a baby and think "beautiful baby" they consider that a jealous thought and have to touch the baby to heal the jealous so that it doesn't infect the baby and give it 'evil eye.' Babies in our family (not my children) have gotten 'evil eye' according to my former MIL - they spike a fever and have to go to bed until the bruja (witch) comes to heal them. Which involves cracking an egg and putting it in a bowl under the bed, saying a bunch of prayers to cast out the devil. This happened to my former douchebag loser ex-husband and when they pulled the bowl containing the egg back out from under the bed, it looked as though it had been whipped with an egg beater. The family loves telling that story.jumperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16018702016337422455noreply@blogger.com
