I'm sorry...but what is it about kids and their boogers...eating them in particular.
So, not long after Lucy started going to nursery at church she started enjoying a little snack of snot every now and then. Now I know that for some weird reason, kids eat their boogers. Why, I do not know. But it's gross. Really gross to me. Everyone says "don't worry, they'll grow out of it", and then I remembered something I had blocked from my memory long ago. Oh no they don't all grown out of it, and I have the story to prove it. Beware...this is gross. Seriously. But as much as it pains and severely embarrasses me that I may have been associated with this person at one time, I must share. Just know that I am vomiting in my mouth as we speak.
It was my freshman year of college and I may have dated a real winner, in a very non-winner kinda way. Let's just say that ambition (among other things) was not one of his strong points. Anyway, one night, very close to when I actually ended the whole thing, we were at my apartment watching a movie with a bunch of people. He was sitting in a chair and I was sitting on the floor next to him. The kicker is that there was a mirror in the hallway that happened to be across from us. I just happened to notice the mirror reflection at the moment he picked a little somthin', look around to make sure no one saw, and had a little snack! (this is me dry heaving now....). Needless to say, I was mortified that a grown man would be "pickin' a winner", and that I had just witnessed him sneaking "it", and that I was actually dating him!(me rolling my eyes) sick. sick. sick. And no, I most absolutely did not kiss him goodnight! sick.
So there. Not all kids do grow out of it. So it's not exactly irrational for me (after being traumatized like that)to stress about Lucy enjoying a little snack once in a while right?
sick.

I don't recall that night, not sure if I was there but pretty sure I know who you are talking about but can't remember his name. What a great story to share!
yeah, i'm pretty sure you were there! we'll just call him the bogie man =)!
sick! sick! sick! I hate boogers and snot so bad and I don't even have a story like that. That is just gross.
Cars. Watch people in their cars at stop lights. Two minute scan and you will GUARANTEED find someone. I keep telling my kids that boogers are like poop, but they don't seem to care. So gross.
So very gross
Takes a long time for kids to understand the basics of germ theory. And apparently some never get it.
But I have eaten food off the floor... Why is belief in the 10 second rule so widespread? Maybe I'll make a new year's resolution: I will no longer eat off the floor. That sounds like a resolution I can keep.
