The weird feeling, afterwards!

[Crimson Dynamo]

i cried as i hated the feeling and afterwards could not touch any fabric, as a child I hated the feeling a of velvet and the thought of touching out old velour sofa with cut nails still makes me shudder

I'd always just eat them tbh

Exactly. Too much sensation for a young finger tip. Thats what nails were for. They cushioned the blow.

That and the Doctor trying to use them wooden lolly sticks to see down my throat were 2 things that traumatised me as a wee boy

I hated injections as a Kid. The ones every kid gets.

I remember my brother was in the children's hospital when we were younger he had bumped really bad and I screamed the place down when them jammed a lolly stick in his mouth to check of his throat was closing up lol. I was more traumatised than he was when he was in there...I also couldn't understand why his bed looked like a cot (obviously just the bed guards) I begged my mum to break him out, I thought they were keeping him prisoner

Don't remember the nail cutting thing but I do remember I hated having my hair brushed.

They looked massive back then. As big as a kirby grip in your lug hole

I don't remember getting my nails cut but I loved my mom brushing my hair, she must have been more gentle than me because my daughter hated me brushing hers

My mum was brutal. I wish she was still here now to do it though....she used to give me a face-lift putting my hair up in a ponytail.....I could do with it now

You will end up as one of those old men with long finger nails cause he cant bite them anymore cause half his teeth have fell out from biting them all his life.

My mum used to line the 4 of us up for worm inspection.

Not as bad as having to drink the medicine though.

I don't bite them anymore one of my front teeth is capped, due to youthful exploits, so I can't
