When i was little, i bit my nails. My parents tried everything they could to stop me. They once said my fingers would all fall off. I believed them for three months, until we had a substitute at school, one day. He pulled out a giant jar of nails and said that he stopped biting his nails when he was 47, and these are all of them!
The man had all of his fingers!
I started biting my nails day and night, saving as much as i could, and i still do.
