When I was about five I asked my older sister who was nine why she always sucked her thumb. She said that when she sucked her thumb she would get juice out of it. I was so in awe that I stood there and tried it but I didn't get any juice. She said I should keep trying and I did. But then I went to her again and told her I still wasn't getting any juice and she shrugged and said yours must be out before walking away. I remember standing there wanting to cry because of how unfair it was.
