bad habits

I used to believe human mucus was healthy to ingest because it was gross, logically stemming from vegetables being gross, which I got from some tv shows.

I used to bite my nails when I was a child but my brother told me if kept doing that, I couldn't play the guitar because nobody could learn how to play it withouht long nails on the right hand.That's how I stopped this bad habit. Thanks to my older brother. :)

When I was little I was used to picking my nose but one day my mom told me that every time I pick my nose I'm touching my brain and I always believed that if I put a pencil in my nose I could touch my brain.

My father said to me: they are bacteria and eggs when you bite your nails. The eggs will go in your stomach and hatch into worms, eating any form you digested until you starved.
I told mum and she said that he was kidding but I should stop biting my nails.

When I was little I used to pick bogies out of my nose then shove them back In!!
Because my brother told me if you picked your nose your brains would fall out!
I believed him till I was 6yrs old.
