When I was young, I used to pick my nose a lot. This was because the Boogie Man lived under my bed and the only way to keep him from kidnapping my blankie was to leave booger offerings on the wall beside my bed.

One day when I was about 4 or 5, I was over my grandparents house and my gradmother was smoking. I confidently told her that she was doing it the wrong way. She looked curiously at her ciragrette and then at me and asked me what she was doing wrong. I then proceeded to grab the vigarette out of her hand and try to stick the lit end in my mouth, saying "You do it like this!"
Luckily, she grabbed it out of my hand in time.
i used to suck my thumb, & i was about eight when my mom finally said it was enough. She tried everything she put pepper on it, vasiline, gloves, all kinds of stuff and i would still continue to suck my thumb. I finally only sucked it when i was tired or going to sleep. But i never just up and stopped, i kind of grew out of it. I don't really think you can just stop.

When I was little probably about the age of 4, I needed to go to the doctors for a routine meningitis injection, and as I was sitting in the doctor's waiting room and I asked my mother why I needed to have the injection? She replied by saying "Well, because you bite your nails, you need to have an injection to get rid of all those germs in your belly!" So I went in petrified of the thought of all the germs (which I thought were actual monsters!) so ran into the room to have the injection. And to this day, I haven't bitten my nails since and they are so strong! I thank my mother....but also wonder sometimes what possessed her to think of that?!

When I was around 3 my dad took away my pacifier because he said that it would ruin my teeth. I got so mad I started sucking my thumb in public to embarrass him and ruin my teeth and told him I'd never stop until he gave me back my binky. It became a habit, and he was stubborn, so soon I was 10 and still sucking my thumb. He'd put pepper on my thumb, and I'd start loving spicy food, he'd tell my friends and I wouldn't care. Then I was 15, and I didn't even know why I did it, and kept trying to stop, but I'd wake up with my thumb in my mouth. Now I'm 32, and sometimes my wife wakes up giggling because I'm sucking my thumb...

When I was little my mom told me that if I continued to pick my nose then the finger bird would swoop down(he always knew when you did it..and could come out of air vents) and bite off your fingers and then you'd just have little nubs. And you can't color with nubs.

I used to believe there were spiders in my nose. My mother told me this when I was really little to keep me from picking my nose. I looked at her horrified and almost unable to move with tears running down my face and asked her to take them out for me.
