She is a grown woman, to be fair who has had some heavy stuff to deal with in life, but this action of sucking her thumb has become a habit that wins people over for her.
I never said she WAS a little girl lost, I said the thumb sucking was a little girl lost thing.
I am rather worn out from your unwarranted exchanges with me earlier today so thats my final word on this matter,but I would ask you to do one thing, read my posts if you must but read them and 'dont' read things 'into' them that I have not meant or actually said either.

You do the same to mine - so, let's leave it at that shall we!

Maybe it gets her attention - so she chooses not to make the effort - who knows! She doesn't strike me as someone who likes to make much effort to do anything!

Good on you, Wombai. Sorry to hear of your embarrassment - but good that you used it to overcome the habit. I've known people who had a habit of pulling their hair - leaving huge bald patches. They were in their twenties and didn't seem to feel the need to do anything about it. We are complicated beings.

Well its a cheaper alternative. And a damn sight more affective I should think.

As my mother used to say - it boggles the mind! Well put, Shasun!
