When I was about 5-years old, i was a constant nose-picker. My mom would often ask me at that age, "Are you looking for a cadillac? if you keep picking, you may!" Being the five-year old I was, I kept picking day after day until I got bloody noses.
I also watched a "Ren and Stimpy" cartoon where they destroyed the Lincoln Memorial because they thought his noggin was filled with gold. I then believe that everybody had gold in their brain, so I tried to pick my nose to find it.
All I got for my trouble were bloody noses and big nostrils. (sarcastically) Thanks a lot society!!!

When I was about 4, I used to bite my nails- CONSTANTLY. My uncle tried the "scare" tactic to get me to stop, so he told me that when I bit my nails, evil germs would fly inside my now "open" fingers and they would eat my organs. In the middle of the night a few weeks later, I bit my nails while sleeping. When I woke up, my fingers were covered in dirt. I was SO scared, until my mom told me that my cat rubbed against me while I slept.

When I was 7-8, I still sucked my thumb. Well, not infront of my friends. My parents tried to find excuses for me to stop, until my father came up with, "If you keep sucking your thumb, all the skin will come off and your bones will be left!" That did the trick.
