I used to belive that only men smoked
I believed this until I saw my grandmother smoking when I wasn about 11 (she lived on other side of the world from me). I was very shocked to see her smoking and had to ask mum about it

My dad and his mom told me when i was 5 that when you bit your fingernails and swollow them that fishes would grow in your stomach. And since that day i never bit my fingernails ever again. I found out that it was a lie when i asked my mom and she told me that it was fake but i still shouldnt bite my fingernails b/c it is bad for your health. That was a lie too.

When I was little my mum told me that if i picked my nose i'd get worms.
But I quite liked this idea as i visualised lots of happy little cartoon worms in my stomach having a party and each time i ate a bogey it would make the party more fun.
i used to bite my nails and when i was littler my mom did everything thing imaginable to make me stop(hoy sauce,tape,gloves ect.) but nothing worked! Then my dad told me that if i dont stop i will have to have surgery and get a big scare down my belly button that would be there forever! Then he would say see i used to bite my nails and look what happened to me, then he would lift up his shirt and show me this huge scar under his belly button! i stopped very shortly after! i later learned that that scar was actually from a car accident

When I was about 7, I heard my grandma and my aunt talking about my aunt quitting smoking. My grandma told her to cold turkey. Of course, I didnt know what that meant at the time..so I asked her this.. "Why dont you go eat some turkey now? Theres some in the fridge." I remember thinking how easy it would be to cold turkey.. (they laughed btw)

My dad is missing a finger from a carpentry accident. When we were little he would tell us that when he was little he was picking his now and a little man who lives in there bit off his finger. Needless to say, we never picked our noses again.
I used to suck my thumb whilst rubbing cotton wool on my nose (bit wierd). A teacher at school told me that I was inhaling all the cotton wool fibres which would suffocate me during the night. I didn't believe her until one night I had a terrible chest infection. I remember waking up screaming because I thought I was going to die from sucking my thumb! Eek, gives me shivers even now.

My parents use dto tell me that if I kept sucking my thumb I would have buck teeth and everyone would laugh at me. Well my teeth are just fine and though people do laugh, they are laughing with me not at me. I am 21 and still suck my thumb. Thanks mom and dad... love you too. :)

I used to have a major problem with sucking my thumb. Well one day my dad got annoyed with it and told me a story.. "If you suck it too much, you will gnaw off the skin on your thumb and only your bones will be left!!!!" Well that night I immediatly wrapped a sock around my hand and slept with my hand under my pillow to resist the urge!.. I am proud to admit that I havent sucked my thumb since then!:P

when i was younger, i bit my nails like crazy. my mom bought everything known to make me stop biting but nothing worked. one summer, i was at my cousins house, sitting on the couch biting my nails. he sat down beside me and said that if i didnt stop then my fingers were gonna fall off. i stoped shortly after.
