When my sister was little she used to suck her thumb. Well when she was about six my mom tried everything, nail polish, bandades, and mittens. Nothing worked. Then one night my sister was sucking her thumb and my mom told her that one day her thumb would start smoking and fall off. Well the next day wa really cold and my sister was outside and sucking her thumb, when she took it out it was steaming and she got scared... Well she never sucked her thumb again...
