When I was younger, we used to travel to the States to go on vacation. My parents told me that I wasn't allowed to pick my nose or the police would take me away and I would have to go back to Canada!! Wow!!

This actually applies to my brother. My grandma said that if you keep on biting your nails and eat them, you will grow worms in your stomach.

When I was about 5, my father told me if I were to keep sucking on my thumb, it would grow bigger than the other. To this day, I meassure the length of my thumbs to see if they are even!

When I was little, my Mom told me that if I kept biting my nails I would grow hands in my stomach. One day I asked her if that was the reason grandpa's stomach was so big.

I've always bitten my nails. When I was a little kid, however, I also swallowed the pieces of fingernail that I bit off. My grandfather told me that if I did that, a fingernail would start growing inside of me! So I soon stopped swallowing the nail pieces and instead started using the trash can.

My Uncle told me when I was little that there was a snail that lived in your nose and if you picked your boogers it would it bite them OFF!! I've used this one myself on all the little ones in our family that came after me!

I believed if you picked your nose then rubbed your eye you'd get some horrible illness

I used to believe that biting my nails would cause my hair to turn the color that they happened to be painted. This helped me to stop biting my nails.
