My Granny once told me, to stop me sucking my hair, that all the hair you sucked made a big ball in your stomach and eventually it would kill you. She said that once a girl had died and a huge ball of hair was in her stomach, and the put it in horniman museum, near the stuffed animals.
I never sucked my hair after that, but i always looked for the ball of hair when we went to hornimans museum. Obviously it was never there, but i still believed her! Its only now that i realise how silly that sounds!
