picking my nose

My Grandmother told me when I was little if you didn't pick your nose that the boogers would eat your skin and make your nose bleed and make your brain get sick

I still pick my nose since im in the habit but when I was little i would hide my head behind a pillow and pick my nose and my mom and dad would say "what in the world is your problem and id say "im telling secrets to my imaginary friend Bob" when i've never really had an imaginary friend!

my friend told me in kindergarten that if i picked my nose too much, it would get stuck in there.

When I was little my older sister would pick her nose and tell me that it was good to do because boogers contained Vitamin C. I still thought it was grose and chose not to get Vitamin C via my boogers. To this day I still joke with her about it.

When I was about 6 or 7 years old my grandpa saw me picking my nose and eating it. He told me that every booger i ate was pieces of my brain and that i was going to end up eating all of my brains. It scared me because i thought i would eat all of my brains and be stupid. i didnt eat a booger since then.

i used to believe that when i picked my nose gremlins would appear from my bottom because inside of my nose there was a button that said gremlin injection. so one day i picked my nose and then wore a nappy just in case. by the way im 24.

I believed, because I was told by my big brother, that if you picked your nose and ate it, it would all coagulate (I don;t think I knew that word then) into a large ball in your body and you'd then die...

my brother (10) still believes that if you stick your finger to far up your nose you can touch your brain

My mom told me if I picked my nose, I would get cancer.

When I was a child, my father used to say, "Don't pick your nose, or your bum will fall off". This was a good deterrent for about a week... Then I picked my nose (by accident), nothing happened & I figured out that my father was either clueless, or just a liar!

I still pick my nose!!!

My mum used to tell me that if I picked my nose, I would poke my brain and I won't be as smart as I should be when I was older :)

My dad's uncle lost the top part of his index finger in an accident years back, right below the first knuckle. He used to tell my sister and I that if we kept picking our noses, our fingers would rot off - his finger was the proof.

Needless to say, we stopped picking our noses.

when i was eight i would stay at my baby-sitter's house when my parents had to work. and one night i slept over at her house and she thought that i picked my nose and i told her that i didn't but she didn't believe me and she told me that when boogers leave your nose they turn into monsters and that the booger monster comes to get you. I was afraid to blow my nose after that.
