The server at the Raven Project was down, so I couldn't tell my funny mom story. Here it is anywho.
When my mum was a wittle gwirl, she would suck her thumb constantly. Granny, of course, didn't like this. She tried everything to get my mum to stop, but it didn't work. Finally, she had an ephiany. (sp?) She told mum for some time that if she kept sucking her thumb, it would turn purple and fall off. After no change in behaivor, Granny dyed it purple while mum was sleeping. She woke up and screamed!
This is my familiy's form of teaching.
