When I was about six or seven, i started biting my fingernails. Well one summer my Uncle came to visit, and while i was sitting on the couch in the living room one night, i was biting my nails, my uncle walked in and told me that if i didnt stop biting my nails, that when i did they would turn out like his. Then he held his hand up, and it was the sickest thing i had ever seen, the fingernail on his right hand was all black and falling off. And for six years i went believing that him biting his fingernails made them look the way they did. Well my mom told me that he got frostbite and then his finger got run over by a tractor. So its all cool!!
