When i was really young, I was a nose picker. My dad saw me doing it one day and said "If you keep picking your nose, the Pick Your Nose Guy will come." I then asked who the Pick Your Nose Guy was and he said that he was a monster disguised as an elderly man who would chase after me if he saw me doing it. I totally believed that for like 2 or 3 years!!
