On Boogers
May 31st, 2008 by ToniMe (to Brother who is found picking his nose): Do you need a tissue?
Brother: No, I’m just getting this out.
Me: It’s a booger.
Brother: Yeah.
Me (as I see him contemplating the booger’s destiny): Well, don’t eat it. Put it in this tissue and throw it in the trash. It’s yucky.
Brother (after further contemplation): Yeah, it’s yucky . . . but the good boogers are for eating.
I thought about challenging this assumption but wisely chose to retreat instead. A mother has to pick her battles.

Snort. Now that is funny.
Eew. Please tell me that’s not my future…
I think your son and my daughter could be a match made in heaven. If heaven has boogers.
I don’t know when kids outgrow eating their boogers (at least in public!). I think it’s at least by the time they hit puberty/start noticing the opposite sex, right?
Love the “just getting this out.”
And, thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. It meant a lot to me!
