When I was younger, my brother and his friends used to party alot and since they were teenagers, they dabbled with marijuana (quite frequently). They told me that the smell was cigars, and not until recently (my own dabbling) I figured out the smell.

When my sister was about 6 or 7 (i was 15) i told her that if she kept picking her nose her brain would fall out. Well, she didn't believe me but a few days later i heard her screaming she ran to me with a bloddy nose and told me her brain was falling out!! she never picked her nose again :)

this is really gross, but when i was very young, for whatever reason, i believed that my boogers had tiny little souls and when i picked my nose, i would ball them up and group them together in a bizarre 'hiding place'--on the seat of a defunct exercise bike in our front yard and sometimes i'd talk to them...the idea that those things came out of my nose held an incomprehensible fascination for me.

When I was little I sucked my thumb non stop and my mom told me that if I didn't that the dentist would have to put a rake in my mouth to fix my teeth. I thought my mom meant a real rake, not the orthadontic one.

I used to believe that if i enjoyed my boogers, everyone else must too. I have a vague memory of offering my sister one. I don't believe she took it.

I refused to suck my thumb when I was younger. I thought what I would suck my thumbnail off and I would bleed to death.

My younger brother use to pick his nose so much that my cousin's boyfriend told him that a worm lives inside your nose and it's gonna bite your finger off if you pick your nose too far inside. I believed that for almost 5 years until he told me that it was just a lie so my little brother could stop picking his nose.

When I was little my dad told me that if I picked my nose my eye would fall out. I was petrified. It wasn't until like 10 years later when I was 14 or so that my mom finally told me he was kidding.

When i was little, I sucked my right thumb. One day, it got slammed in a door. It hurt too bad to suck, so my mom told me to suck my left thumb. I tried it and made a yucky face. My mom asked me what was wrong. I told her it tasted like strawberries. She asked what the good one tasted like. I said chocolate.
I smoked exactly one time in my life. When I was about 6 years old, a friend and I found a partially smoked cigarette on the sidewalk. Using a magnifying lens to light it, we each took a drag off of it. I got very ill, and I remember thinking for months afterward that one puff had given me lung cancer. Since then, I have never smoked.

My grandfather had lost part of a finger in some sort of accident. When I was younger, he told me that a snail lived up in your nose and if you stuck your finger in your nose the snail would bite it. He claimed that he had stuck his finger too far up his nose and that the snail had bit it off!

Fingernails... My Dad told me that he knew a man that when he died they took a whole cup of fingernails out of his stomach.....needless to say I stopped bitting my fingernails. The days of always believing my Dads stories are far behind me.
I used to believe…
When I was really really little I bit my nails and swallowed 'em. One day in first grade my teacher noticed and started yelling things like "SARA SWALLOWING YOUR NAILS WILL GIVE YOU A TUMOR. STOP THAT." And for the longest time I thought the nails would stick to my stomache lining. Just like gum (which, my sixth grade teacher told us the whole truth...).
Also my brother told me that if I continued to bite my nails the evil demons of Satan would devour my soul and stuff. He's five years older so I guess he was about nine. I'm twelve and he's eighteen and nobody's eaten my soul yet.
