bad habits

I used to believe…

My mom used to tell me that if you bit your fingernails and ate it that you would get worms inside. It didn't stop me from biting my nails though.

I used to believe…

my dad told me if i kept biteing my nails they will build up in my stomach, it diddnt help, i just stoped swllowing them. i have a weird thing, my nails have to be the same length every day, negative side is, they are too short to cut with a cutter, my teeth do the job well.

I used to think that if you suck your thumb, your fingers will fall off and eat you.

When I was 3 or 4 i thought to go out side you had to have something white like a cigarette in your mouth. So i would try to find a colored pencil or white crayon to put in my mouth.

when my sister was little, she went through a nose-picking phase. my parents solved this by telling her that a finger-eating snail lived in her nose and that if she picked it, the snail would bite off her finger. terrified, she believed it and stopped picking her nose.

I used to believe…

when me and my sister were young, my mom painted our nails red and told us if we kept on biting our nails we would eat the nailpolish and die. my sisters nails are now really long and pretty, but i kept on biting mine and now they're still really messed up and short.

i used to believe that boogers were bits of your brain and if your nose bled that meant you picked 2 much.

i used to bite my nails down to the quick.. my mom told me that if i kept doing that i would get an infection and a lump would form under my arm and they'd have to cut my arm off..

I used to believe…

When I was about 14 or 15 years old, my friend who was the same age told me never to smoke a cigarette down to the filter, because it would make you unable to have children later. Where did that come from???

I used to believe…

My mum used to tell me that if i suck my thumb long enough, it would disappear.

This one really works.

I used to believe adults smoked cigarettes backwards, that is, i thought you had to blow on it and I thought "what's the fun of blowing on that thing and making smoke come out?"

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)

My mom told me people who bit their nails became ugly. I thought my looks would change, that I would grow a hiddeus nose or something. I did not understand that she meant my hands would look ugly if i contined chewing my nails
