Playing with her hair is less of a habit and more a sign of social anxiety.

[@jaynenunya6070]

eh could be both.

[@Tony_Cardoza]

Lots of social anxiety while being in your house with your brother.

Same with nail biting, I actually used to nail bite, because I was afraid to talk to certain people. It took alot to not bite my nails after high-school but I don't nail bite anymore.

It could be something to do with her hand while her brain is thinking, like how sometimes people tap their fingers on things while thinking or whatever. Not sure what that's called, but it could be something like that. Just my two cents.

[@purplebec9112]

@@ChibiPanda8888 its a tick. I rub my hands whenever I need adrenaline in my head. And also I rub them when I'm excited. It's been that way, since I don't really remember.

This rivals with Mr. B for my favorite short.

Drugs are like cracks in sidewalks and goofy middle aged men playing hopscotch. Okay

Well I've learned my lesson. All my drug money is going towards lego sets from now on.

So many laughs in this one. Gotta say, in Miami-Dade in the early 70s - where and when this short was produced - they didn't seem to take drugs all that seriously. I've seen, via Rifftrax/MST3K, more alarming safety films about bicycle-riding.
