As a child, I asked my older sister about the little bumps (saliva glands) on the inside of my cheeks, about half way back.
She said that they were growths that had to be cut out, and grabbed some scissors to perform the operation.
I sincerely believed she would carry through with it, but wouldn't tell my parents because I thought they would make me go to the doctor.
