En Haarwaerwel uff me Kind seim Kopp bedeit as es en schtowwicher Mensch gebt. A cowlick on a child’s head is a sign of a stubborn disposition.

Wann’s me Kind ins Gsicht reggert eb’s en Yaahr alt is, waert’s roschdich un summerfleckich. If it rains in a child’s face before it is a year old, it will have a rusty and freckled complexion.
