QOTD

In honor of the little girl in the car driving next to me this morning:

When you were younger, did you pick your nose?  And if you did, did the boogers ever make it into your mouth? Ick!

Re: QOTD

  • I was told I did it once and my uncle (who is missing 2 fingers) said that the booger monster ate his fingers, and I never did it again.

  • What child doesn't pick their nose?  I know I ate them too - gags - so glad I grew out of that one.

  • I have no specific recollection of actually doing it, but like Tarah said, what kid doesn't pick their nose?  I'm sure I did too...

  • I'm sure I did some treasure hunting as a kid. I hope it never made it in my mouth, but kids do that, so I'm sure I did.

    Of course, this question makes me think of the Seinfeld episode...It was a scratch!!!! Not a pick!!!!

  • Ha...I am sure.

  • I was more of a wiper.  I wiped them on back of doors, under tables and other hidden places.  Embarrassed  My mom later saw some of my art work and was not happy.

  • Definitely picked my nose.  I'm pretty darn sure I never ate any of them.

    OMG LMAO

  • Ummm yes.  There are multiple pictures of me as a child with my finger in my nose.
  • I'm sure all kids have picked & aten them.

    My dad used to tell us that eating our boogers would make worms grow in our bellies.  That deterred us from eating them, but I know we still picked them.

  • Yea, I'm pretty sure I picked and ate them when I was younger. My step daughter is in this phase now and I constantly tell her how gross it is.

    I know that I picked, I don't remember ever eating but who knows.

    As gross as it is I have actually heard that children who eat their booger are healthier and get sick less often.  Apparently all the germs they ingest from the boogers helps build their immune systems.
