Vous suciez votre pouce quand vous étiez petits. The translation is you used to suck your thumbs when you were small.

Why is petit plural - unlikely to be talking to more than one person about this, and why 'votre pouce' when the translation is 'your thumbs' - wouldn't it be 'vos pouces'

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate semi-regular -cer verbs in the imperfect tense in French (L'Imparfait)"
