They

Who is 'they'?

You know, as in

• 'they say never eat before going to bed'


• 'they say opposites attract'


• 'they say you have to wait 30 minutes after lunch until you can swim'


• 'they say it's your birthday'

Perhaps 'they' is well-tested research, but sometimes it might be an old wives' tale. Sometimes 'they' is wisdom, but sometimes it might just be Oprah.

Who is 'they'? And how much say do they have in your life?
