Ewwww.....Prepare to be Grossed Out.....Why do people pick their noses? I don't get it. I may have a phobia about this because of my upbringing overseas. They'd sort of push on one nostril and blow it all out....EWWWWWWWW.....
I don't remember the older two girls picking their noses....but I clearly remember one of our older sons in church when he was about two. He was mining for treasure, pulled his finger out with a goober on the end, looked at it, shrugged his shoulders and ATE it! In church. That was many years ago.
I've watched son after son do this.....why? I gag.
The other night Mike must have even been grossed out, "Child, go get a kleenex."
"Why?" as he ATE it......
I've tried to train them well. This is DISGUSTING....shoot....I saw an adult in a car beside me at the stoplight pick his nose.....I gagged.
WHY? Is there something deficit in a young child's diet that would cause this? How do you train a child that this is simply gross? I've been watching this strange, gross occurance for years and years...and I'm perplexed!
Surely, my wise readers will have some sort of solutions to offer? Now, I really am exhausted, Jamin is home, and I should go to bed....I probably should have gone before I wrote this post.

LOL Sorry, I think I'm in the uncivilized camp. One of life's simpler pleasures. I come from a long time of nose pickers. Maybe it is a regional thing. LOL Sorry!
Sis: :) :) BOYS! Seems to be a thing they do..... eck!!! All the years we lived in the PI's I looked so forward to the year we spent in the States once every 4yrs. Guess the croud we were around kept this nose pickin stuff private and also at the malls etc.
BUT...in 2001 when we came home to stay and I started working at a schol..........eck big time. Seems things have changed and now it is everyone who picks their noses and in public even....
I'm with you big time EWWWWWWW!!!!!
l/p mom t
LOL! I don't understand either. I remember doing it as a kid but I don't remember WHY. Now I'm a compulsive nose-blower. At least 3-4 times a day. When I get a cold it drives me nuts. Can't stand having anything in my nose!
All my kids have been pickers too. Even Hailey has started poking up there. I think she's seen the boys do it a couple of times. The kids giggle at her, she thinks it's funny and does it more. It frustrates me to no end!
Anyways, funny post!
WHen you find the solution, please share it with me... Theresa (10yo dd w/ADHD and who knows what else) picks her nose.... in addition, she eats it.... and then on top of that she talks about it.... I have told her a few times recently that this is a sure fire way to lose friends. Most girls don't want to hang out with another girl that picks her nose and eats it... esp when she then also talks about it.... sigh....
I wish I could comment more, but my sons have requested my silence...{G}
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. lol
My 6yodd was picking her nose in the grocery store. She has notoriously ginormous goobers and I was worried what would come out.
She pulled out her finger and there was a green, slimy thing the size of the end of her finger. I asked her what she was going to do with it now that it was out of her nose.
She promptly put it back in her nose!!! I don't know how she got it to stay, but it did!!!
Well, now I'm thinking I shouldn't have been quite so honest. Oh well, it is one of life's little pleasures enjoyed in the privacy of ones home! :-p
EWWWWW... that's one thing our kids have never done that I know of...
You never really know, Cindy....you just never know. LOL
One day my dear son, who was about 3 or 4 at the time, came to me and proudly showed me his "nose wax," which he had successfully extracted. (We wiped it on a kleenex.) Maybe you have taught them TOO well, you know, wash your ears, behind you ears, between your toes, the back of the neck, etc. Did you ever teach them to clean their nose? Sometimes blowing just doesn't do the job!
Nose Wax.... ::snort::
I've shared this before: Dd was 2 or 3, sitting on dh's back, sticking her finger in his ear. She said something about the booger in Daddy's ear. I said we don't have boogers in ears, only in noses. She replied, "But I put one in there!"
>>>Different opinions are welcome - GRACE is expected!<<<
Good thing it's only grace, not tact or class, lol.
Kristine - this is HILARIOUS! Gracious tactlessness is my new goal. ::snort::
We moved from southern Indiana to the San Francisco Bay Area within a month of getting married. On our first day in CA, we were in an "ethnic" area and followed a man out of a store. Within 3 steps of exiting, he "blew" his nose just like you said - right onto the ground in front of us! Needless to say, we had never seen such a thing and are still grossed out about it to this day!
