When i was about 2 or 3 years old i always sucked my thumb and no matter what my parents did i wouldn't stop. Well any way my nan had lost the top half of the outer fingers on her right hand working in a meat factory when machinary squahsed them.. one day she decided to tell me that it was the result of sucking her thumb when she was my age... i don't think i've ever sucked my thumb after that -_-

my mom had told me if you pick your nose too much, you will end up touching your brains with your fingers. i never did that again!
I used to think that there was a monster at the very end of my nose. So if I stuck my finger in there to far the monster would bite my finger off.
Needless to say I would barely put at part of my finger in my nose.

When i was little i used to pick my nose and my dad told me that ear wax was boogers before they got to your nose. So, i tried ear wax and it tasted really bad (even compared to boogers) and i thought it was so gross that boogers used to taste like that that i stopped eating my boogers.

I used to belive that if you picked your nose so far in with you pinkie, the nose monster would come and bite off your finger.

Once my friend to me that if you picked your nose a lot your nostrils would get really big. My teacher was all Italian, therefore had a pretty long nose making her nostrils very narrow. I thought that she must have never picked her nose once.

Not me my brother. He used to eat his boogers all the time. One day my grandma was fed up with it so she went and got a large Mason jar. She told him that if he wanted to eat his boogers so bad that he should start putting them in the jar and she would spread it on bread and make a snadwich for him...He never ate his boogers again.
I'm seventeen, and up until very recently (less than a year ago) I bit my nails and had been ever since I was very little. Then I had a kidney stone and since I had no idea what actually caused it, I had myself convinced that it was biting on my nails my whole life that was the problem. Turned out that it wasn't the problem, but I stopped biting them anyway--just in case.

my mom told me if i didnot stop a nail will pass like my food and cut my butt.
I used to suck my finger, and because I did it so regularly and couldn't sleep without (until I was about 12, and couldn't anymore because of my braces, which I needed because I sucked my finger... anyway!) I always thought my left index finger was smaller than my right because I'd been sucking it away! I'd also remembered left and right by looking at which finger was wrinkly from all the sucking
i used to htink that wen u picked ur nose u lost brain cells and that my brain got smaller too
I used to pick my nose and eat it when I was a little kid and my parents tried just about everything they could to get me to stop. "It's going to bleed," "Boogers are made of dead spiders," etc. Anyway, one day, the excuse-du-jour was that every time you pick your nose, it's just going to grow longer and fatter and redder until it looks exactly like a carrot. I got proof when I saw a cartoon character whose nose looked exactly like that (it was supposed to be that way for the plot.) I was horrified because with all the nose-picking that had accumulated over the years, I was going to go to sleep and wake up the next morning with a three-foot carrot-looking nose! I wasn't able to sleep for weeks, and I haven't picked my nose since then. (I don't believe the story, but I still don't pick my nose because I think boogers are disgusting.)

I quite often pick my nose and I always get caght! I had a dream that if I picked my nose anymore , my nose would disappear during the night!!!
I bite my nails but my auntie tells me that they will stay like that forever so I stopped. My cousin still bites hers and hers have stopped growing now! spooky or what!!!

Once when i was younger (im talking 4 or 5) i saw a man smoking a cigar. my (psycho) brother told me it was actually a human finger and if i wasnt nice to the man, (who was his friends dad) the man would come and chop my finger off to smoke it(because smokings addictive and he would be wanting onother soon). i left the house with all my fingers on and told all my friends my narrow escape. once when i was at my friends house these ladies came to the door selling cigarettes.when i opened the door i nociced one of them was smoking and needless to say i screamed and slammed the door in their face

My Mom used to tell me not to pick my nose because "buggers turn into bugs"...now, obviously this was an innocent attempt to keep my fingers out of my nostrils. I don't know if I really believed her, at first..anyway. But one day after digging for the nasal ore, I looked down and saw a ladybug...believe it or not that made a believer out of me. (Side note.....I actually believed that buggers were a part of brain tissue that had slipped down into the nose...I really did, hey, I was a weird kid..but, then, I'm kind of an odd adult, too.
