That my thumb had to be pulled out to make me cry 😫.( Forever wanted to be in my comfort zone 😇) I continued with my habit for many years . My mom tried everything- putting chilly- pepper 🌶 mix or neem paste on my thumb , bandaging or even cellotaping it . Nothing worked . Although I controlled the urge in school,  but at home I blissfully continued. Once when I was in my 2nd grade , my mom became upset 😡 over my irritating quirk. Just to pacify her , I said I was sorry and wouldn't do it anymore.  She made me swear on her. In jest I said yes I promise you Ma. To which she added you have sworn on me, if you break it, I shall die. I was worried 😟 😨 now . I tied my thumb to the rest of my palm, to remember . At night 🌉 🌙 ,while sleep...
