sucking my thumb

I used to suck my thumb until i was 7 yrs old. my mommy and daddy told my that if i didn't stop my thumb would fall off and i would only have 9 fingers and not 10. now my thumb is all wrinkly and looks different from the other one! I think while i was sleepin my mom put somethin on my thumb and when i woke up i stopped that habit!

If you suck your thumb you'll grow up to be healthy, strong, intelligent and avoid all sorts of other addictive behaviour. Well, three out of four ain't bad...

When my parents told me that my thumb would fall off it I kept sucking it...I NEVER believed it. In fact I kept sucking it and it never fell off. I did keep looking at it to see if it was getting thinner though.

I used to be beliefe if I sucked my thumb my thumb will be shrink and gone. Then i stopped to suck my thumb

When I was little I believed that my double jointed "hitch hikers" thumbs were because of I sucked it so much and my left thumb goes back so it my thumb looks straight and my right thumb goes back less and I remember sucking my left thumb more so I thought it was because of sucking it.

IF you suck you thumb to much it will come off. Right? I thought this for years.

I used to think that if you suck your thumb, your fingers will fall off and eat you.

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.

My mum once told me that if I sucked my thumb it would shrink, so when I saw this girl at school (who always sucked her thumb) she burst into tears.
