I sucked my thumb until I was eleven years old. I only stopped because my father threatened to leave my family for another woman halfway around the world. i thought that if i had finally stopped, that he wouldn't go because both parents would become proud of me for kicking the habit. i also stopped because i learned that, when mixed with fluoride, sucking ur thumb does a number on your teeth. and trust me, it's not pretty.
