bad habits

I thought thumb sucking was illegal and you could get arrested if you didn't stop sucking it. So i stopped sucking my thumb so i wouldn't get arrested.

I used to think your thumb would start to rot at night everytime I sucked my thumb each day, and then my thumb would fall off and I'll never grow back a new one

My mom told me that your thumb would turn green and fall off in your sleep if you sucked your thumb too much. I believed this until I was 10.

I used to believe that if you suck your thumb too much, it would fall off the next day. My mom told me that to prevent me from sucking my thumb and I never sucked my thumb again. I'm 20 and am still afraid to suck my thumb. I will tell my future kids that if they don't stop sucking their thumb

Whenever I saw somebody smoking I just assumed that they were eating a Lollypop.

I used to believe it was necessary to blow to smoke a cigarett.

This may not be a belief, and yet at the same time almost a third of this site seems to be devoted to bad parenting, so this fits well.
To this day, I have a tendency to pick my nose and eat the boogers. I've learnt to do it in secret now, because my parents were complete jerks about it. Yes, my own parents would always tease me about it.
They would ask me questions like "are you digging for gold in there, or diamonds?" They also said other things, but I forget what they were. I never actually believed there were precious minerals in my nose, but they did hurt my feelings.

I used to believe that people who resolved to quit smoking "cold turkey" as a New Year's resolution chose the timing because of all the cold turkey left over from Christmas.

when I was little my mum always used to tell me "if younpick your nose to much your brain will fall out then I stoped strait away:-)

You know how cigarettes come with health warnings on the box? Well, one of the warnings used to be "Cigarettes cause impotence", and since I was a kid and didn't know what "impotence" was, I assumed they just made a spelling mistake and meant to write "Cigarettes cause importance". I thought it meant that if you smoke cigarettes, it would make you more important. Which I thought weird, since being important is a good thing.

So, I'm 14 and suck my thumb. My mother made a small attempt to make me stop when we moved at the age of 5. She told me that in the new house, I couldn't suck my thumb when I was downstairs or in her bed. She said that if I did, I would be kicked out. This did not work and I sucked my thumb in her bed secretly every time I slept with her. She had also told me what most parents say. It will make my thumb shrink or pop off or turn into a permanent prune. My father also made the attempt to get me to stop. He introduced me to a friend of his who didn't have a thumb. His friend said that he didn't have a thumb because he sucked it off! Well my fathers plan backfired and I decided I only wanted one thumb. So here I am at age 14 sucking my thumb. Two thumbs up for me!

When i was little my grampa told me that if you pick your nose for more then three hours a day it would all go down in to your belly and the acid in your belly would not be be able to take and you would soon blow up in to a bunch of little pieces.

I only ever saw men smoke, so I thought that only men smoked.

I used to believe that quitting something 'cold turkey' meant that you ate cold turkey instead of smoking or doing whatever else they're trying to quit. I figured that since cold turkey doesn't sound that delicious, they must be so distracted by how annoying cold turkey tastes that they forget about their addiction.

When I was younger I used to believe that everytime I picked my nose, my nostiles would get bigger, I stopped very quickly fearing they would be like golf balls.
