when i was little my mom couldnt stop me from sucking my thumb so she told me that if i sucked my thumb my stomach would blow up like a balloon. this scared me so much i stopped. then one day i was in the park and i saw this lady with a huge stomach (not knowing she was just pregnant) and said to her see what happens when you suck your thumb. she just gave me a dirty look and walked off.
