When I was about 9 my grandpa would tell me not to pick my nose...except he said it in russian (i knew russian) but there were to ways to say pick a he used the one that sounded most like "picking a scab" so whenever he said to sopt picking my nose, I would get scared thinking that it would start bleeding and never did it again.
