Anyone believe in old wives tales?

So, OK. Me and my daughter go into this Caribbean market, to get a few things. I wanted to make Jamaican rice and peas so badly for the past week. So we are walking down the aisle chatting about how great the store smells. As we get to the end of the aisle we see a pregnant woman. I mean she was so pregnant, I later found out she was due in two weeks. I decided to take a vantage of the opportunity to for fill an old wives tale. ( for anyone who does not know, according to the old wives tales if you sniff a pregnant woman’s ear, You too will become pregnant. This work for me when conceiving my son, after sniffing a pregnant woman’s here I got my BFP in less than three cycles. ) so I decided to speak to the woman, I explained to her that I was in my two week wait a few days away from being able to test. She understood, I asked her if I could sniff her ear . She laughs a little, but still she reaches for a hug. As I hug her I took in the biggest wiff that I possibly could, thanks her , and walked down the next aisle. I get halfway through The aisle, and I instantly get sick to my stomach. I am about to vomit viciously. Now I’m freaking out, my daughter is trying to talk to me and I’m just like “stop talking “I’m putting my hand up. I am bending over. I’m just dizzy and sick. So nauseous I can barely handle it. Instead of continuing to look for the rice I had been looking for I decide to go to the clerk, I can’t even get my words out. The guy must’ve thought I was crazy , Luckily this is the store that is very small and I shop here from time to time. They kind a know my face. So the guy he’s helping me while I’m gagging not being able to catch my breath, and feeling nauseous as all hell. I did not feel any better until I made it to the car, and took a sip of my drink that I had to buy in the store because I felt like complete crap. Before I leave the store the clerk begins to ask me with such concert on his face , “Are you OK“ I answer him all confused. Yeah I’m fine I know I haven’t been in here for a while. And he answers to me and says “no your stomach are you feeling OK“. I hadn’t noticed that I’ve been clenching my stomach, my uterus the entire time at check out. So tell me what you guys think about the story, do you believe an old wives tales ?
