When I was around 3 my dad took away my pacifier because he said that it would ruin my teeth. I got so mad I started sucking my thumb in public to embarrass him and ruin my teeth and told him I'd never stop until he gave me back my binky. It became a habit, and he was stubborn, so soon I was 10 and still sucking my thumb. He'd put pepper on my thumb, and I'd start loving spicy food, he'd tell my friends and I wouldn't care. Then I was 15, and I didn't even know why I did it, and kept trying to stop, but I'd wake up with my thumb in my mouth. Now I'm 32, and sometimes my wife wakes up giggling because I'm sucking my thumb...

When I was little my mom told me that if I continued to pick my nose then the finger bird would swoop down(he always knew when you did it..and could come out of air vents) and bite off your fingers and then you'd just have little nubs. And you can't color with nubs.

I used to believe there were spiders in my nose. My mother told me this when I was really little to keep me from picking my nose. I looked at her horrified and almost unable to move with tears running down my face and asked her to take them out for me.

I used to think that boogers were pieces of your brain and contained things that you forgot and if you ate them you'd remember.

When I was younger, I would always suck my thumb. Once my brother told me it would shrivel up and fall off when i got older, but i kept sucking it until i was 8!
