I spent a summer with my Granparents and we decided to drive up and visit my Aunt and Uncle for a few days. While riding in the car I was looking at my fingernails and asked my Uncle what the little white specks under my fingernails were. He told me that you get those from telling lies. So whenever I lied about something I used to hide my hands all the time. Still a bad habit to this day!!
