When I was about 5 I cut my eyelashes with a pair of scissors - my mother scolded me and told me that if I did that again my eyelashes would grow & grow really long .... That night I had a nightmare about re-cutting my eyelashes over and over again & I woke up crying. My mother comforted me saying " Mummy is sorry she lied to you, she will never lie to you again, eyelashes dont re-grow like that, I am sorry."
