My uncle used to work in a sawing factory and had lost the top half of his index finger in an accident. So, When I was little I used to pick my nose, and my dad would tell me that my Uncle Danny used to pick his nose until the evil snails that live in our nostrils (you know, those ones) bit off his finger. I never picked again. Until I was about 13 when I figured it out. Now I pick freely.

My mum told me that when you pick your nose your nostrils will enlarge and look "unsightly and un-ladylike". I must have been about four back then. Now I'm closeto thirty, with a university degree in medical sciences, and I am still a little suspicious of people with big nostrils (including my husband)!

I used to believe that nicotine was very good and helped you stop smoking, because of those nicotine patches. Then in 5th grade, a DARE officer came in and asked if anyone knew what nicotine was. Well, nobody had ever heard of it before, so I thought I was little miss smarty pants and proudly explained that nicotine was something that made you stop smoking. I was embarrassed when the officer told me the truth. :(

There used to be some joke page on the internet that claimed to know everything about you if you put your finger on the screen in a certain spot. So, I did it and it said, "You pick your nose!" Well, I was only a little girl, and I really did pick my nose, so I thought it really was psychic. I also believed that if I picked my nose once, I would forever be marked as a nose picker.

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 believe if you picked your nose, your brains would fall out your nose.
I use to believe that if I kept biting my nails they would all fall out. my parents had a friend that somehow did not have any finger nails and they would show me his hands to put the scare in me and say he lost his nails because he wouldn't stop biting them. even though I believed them for some reason it didn't work all that good cause I still was biting them but maybe not as often.

When I was younger I thought that men who smoked were the only people who grew facial hair becuause the only people I had ever seen with mustaches or beards were smokers. I didn't realize that all men grew facial hair until the fourth grade when we had a sex-ed class and they taught us all about puberty and hair growth.

My dad told my brother that if he picked his nose, a little man that lives inside will grab your finger and never let go so your finger would be stuck.
I could never understand why people stubbed out their cigarettes when only the white bit was left.(I didn't know that it was not filled with tobacco; but was a filter instead) I thought it was a waste.
