picking my nose

When I was young I thought that if I picked my nose at night and the booger was left out in view monsters that ate boogers would come. I had to make sure my booger was in the garbage in another room.

Missa

When I was little I was told by a substitute teacher that inside bugars were tiny spiders, and if you ate them they lived in your stomach.

I used to believe that sticking my finger up my nose made me invisible and I was so angry at this girl who sat behind me because she had super-powers that allowed her to see me.

not-so-invisible, not-so-smart

I used to think that if i wasnt picking my nose (which was a habit of mine until i became eight) there were little dwarven miners, looking for snot. (what in the world was i thinking?!?!?) I got this belief when my my caught me picking my nose and said "Oi, looking for gold, Stevie?"

Growing up, my older brother told me that eating my boogers would make strong like Popeye. During dinner he would pick his own boogers & trade me. My desert for his "freshly picked" nose gummies. Mmmmmm. To this day I don't eat any kinds deserts. But strangely, I sometimes have cravings for a freshly picked one.

MY friend used to tell me if you picked your nose you would pick right through and there would be a hole in the back of your head

Everyone on mi family for generations had always been told that if u pick ur nose your eye balls will fall out. And ever since I've stoped I tell everyone that this will happen when i see them doing it.

When i was really young, I was a nose picker. My dad saw me doing it one day and said "If you keep picking your nose, the Pick Your Nose Guy will come." I then asked who the Pick Your Nose Guy was and he said that he was a monster disguised as an elderly man who would chase after me if he saw me doing it. I totally believed that for like 2 or 3 years!!

When I was younger, I used to think that picking your nose was against the law.

someone told me the expression "got any bats in the cave?" i really did think there were bats in my nose so i never picked my nose again.

When I was about 6, (I am 12 now) my grandma told me that if I ate my boogers, that worms would grow in my stomach. I believed her and I stopped.

When I was little I picked my nose all the time. My sister hated it, so she told me that picking your nose causes "finger cancer." I stopped picking my nose right then and there and believed her until, years later, I told my friend about it. She laughed at me and told my whole fifth grade class what an idiot I was!

Gold Digger

When I was real little and used to pick my nose I would cover what I was doing with my other hand, I convinced myself no one could see, until one day my dad asked me why I was digging for gold, I realized they could tell what I was doing.

In prescool, i had the bad habit of picking my nose and eating my boogers. my teacher told me that boogers were dirt and that's what i was eating. I told her i didn't care, as long as it tasted good.
