 Item — Box: 171, Folder: 3
Identifier: FA 1 Item 1783

Scope and Contents

Clayton collected lore pertaining to determining the sex of an unborn child, and discussed why these beliefs persist despite modern access to accurate ultrasound technology. Included in paper is the belief that if a baby is active in the womb, it will be a boy, and the belief that if a wedding ring on a string rotates in a certain way, the baby will be a girl. The project was written for Dr. Rudy's English 392 class in 1998 taught at Brigham Young University.
