IF you suck you thumb to much it will come off. Right? I thought this for years.
I used to believe that if you sucked your thumb to much that it would fall off or you would have a wrinkled grandma thumb so I never sucked my thumb if I had a choice. My mom said I never used to suck my thumb when I was a baby. I stand by that till this very day and my nieces and nephews dont suck their thumbs either and not that I believe it anymore I am thankful just in case! Ha Ha Ha.
No Thumb Sucking!!!
When my daughter was 3 I told her that when kids got to big for pacifiers they started tasting bad. About 1 week later I painted every one of her pacifiers with that horrible tasting thumb sucking stuff. She walked around holding a pacifier for about two weeks, but didn't suck it. She believed she had become a big girl when they all tasted bad. She believed this until she was about nine.

In an attempt to get me to stop sucking my thumb, my parents told me that they passed a new law, and it was now illegal to suck your thumb. They went as far as inviting a cop friend over to the house to scare me. I was so terrified of being arrested and taken to jail, that i quit the next day. I didnt find out until a few years later that it was all a joke.
i used to suck my thumb, & i was about eight when my mom finally said it was enough. She tried everything she put pepper on it, vasiline, gloves, all kinds of stuff and i would still continue to suck my thumb. I finally only sucked it when i was tired or going to sleep. But i never just up and stopped, i kind of grew out of it. I don't really think you can just stop.

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...

I have always sucked my thumb... until i was seven... probably because my friends dad always convinced me that if i sucked my thumb long enough i would win free hamburgers, so then i started sucking my thumb even more... why he told me that im still not sure to this day because it definatley didnt help me stop... whatever floats his boat!!!
p.s. my

I used to think that when I covered my mouth while sucking my fingers that mom wouldn't be able to tell. However she'd always yell over to me to take it out of my mouth. And I used to think, "Wow - mom has x-ray powers; she's like superman!"
still sucking fingers 27 years strong!!
Once when I was about 5, my friend told me that if you sucked your thumb it was like watering a plant, and it would grow really big.

When I was 6, my Mom told me that if i sucked my thumb eventually i would suck the whole thing off. I am still hesitant to suck my thumb but I still do it. (I'm 19)

I used to think if you sucked on your thumb, it would grow bigger and bigger because it absorbed all your saliva. My mother told me this, and it scared me enough that I never did it.

I used to suck my thumb and my dentist always told me not to. One time she mentioned that my teeth were becomming the same shape as my thumb. Of couse she meant my teeth were starting to stick out to fit my thumb, but I thought she meant my two front teeth looked like thumbs. I was self-concious of my thumb-shaped teeth for years!!
