When I was little, my mom said: If you don´t stop sucking your thumb, I cut it off with my scissor. I don´t hear about that and next day she caught me sucking my thumb when I watched tv. Thumb out, she said, but I won´t so she ran in the kitchen and came back with her scissor. She pulled my thumb out of my mouth and put it in the scissor. So I cried an said please don´t cut my thumb off. She removed the scissor. And so I stopped sucking my thumb
