I think its a generational thing. Italian grandmothers do it too. Apparently, if you compliment someone's child, they are afraid that something bad will happen. I don't know if you are insulting the angels or faeries or whatever so that they will take revenge or what. It's weird, but some of the comments really make you want to say wtf?
