sucking my thumb

i used to suck my thumb, & i was about eight when my mom finally said it was enough. She tried everything she put pepper on it, vasiline, gloves, all kinds of stuff and i would still continue to suck my thumb. I finally only sucked it when i was tired or going to sleep. But i never just up and stopped, i kind of grew out of it. I don't really think you can just stop.

When I was younger, I would always suck my thumb. Once my brother told me it would shrivel up and fall off when i got older, but i kept sucking it until i was 8!

I have always sucked my thumb... until i was seven... probably because my friends dad always convinced me that if i sucked my thumb long enough i would win free hamburgers, so then i started sucking my thumb even more... why he told me that im still not sure to this day because it definatley didnt help me stop... whatever floats his boat!!!
p.s. my

i like hamburgers

I used to think that if you suck your thumb, your fingers will fall off and eat you.

When I was 6, my Mom told me that if i sucked my thumb eventually i would suck the whole thing off. I am still hesitant to suck my thumb but I still do it. (I'm 19)

I used to think if you sucked on your thumb, it would grow bigger and bigger because it absorbed all your saliva. My mother told me this, and it scared me enough that I never did it.

i am now 13 years old and i still suck thumb which sounds ridiculous i know but that didnt stop me neither did the endless stories i got told. it wasn't that i didnt believe them i was young and gullable i just didnt care and wanted to see what would happen & if they were REALLy telling the truth.
One of the stories was that if i sucked my thumb for long enough my teeth would stick out and eventually my whole body would turn into bugs bunny. That sounded really cool to a young girl so i was kinda dissappointed when it didnt happen .

although (and perhaps because) i was never a thumb sucker, I believed that if I sucked hard enough, I could get water to come out of my thumb. in reality, of course, this water was my own saliva.

As a child I used to suck my thumb, that was until my nan told me she knew a little girl who used to suck her thumb as a child and she sucked it so much it went down to the bone and she was left with a bone sticking out of her hand!
