omg, that song is totally in my HEAD! Thanks for that *not*.
Two of mine were "binky" users and when my oldest was 18mos-2 he would walk around with it in his mouth like it was a cigar. Not using it, but wanting it there... clearly, he needed to be done.
So, we started "misplacing" them, and I would cut one every week or so. Eventually he was down to the last one. (you can't buy more from the store if baby is over x age, you know) Then one morning he was walking down the stairs and he opened his mouth to talk and it bounced down the stairs and around the bend.
Hubby snatched it and hid it in his pocket and we spent an hour on hands and knees searching for it. Because my son was there for the whole disappearance, he comprehended it. He actually went thru a bereavement period, especially when in the car he would look like he wanted to nap and cry "my binky" but eventually that stopped and he's binky free at 10. ;)
