picking my nose

I used to believe that the reason I would get sore throats were of all the buggers I ate, and they amassed into one large bugger patty in my throat

I used to believe that if you picked your nose too much it would fall off and it would bleed all the time and never stop. So I would go around and say " You better stop picking your nose or it will fall off"!!

No picking your nose

Remember the song, "Everybody's doing it, doing it, doing it,
picking their nose and chewing it , chewing it."? I learned the
next line as "Tastes like candy, but it's not . . ." So I thought
boogers were sweet! (I'm proud to say I hadn't eaten any.)

I was told that if I picked my nose too much i could pick my brain out of my head.
I was also told that if I picked my nose and ate it I was eating little bits of my brain.
I had lovely cousins! :p

One day i picked my nose and a hair came out with this slimy yellow stuff and blood vains my mum told me it was a hairy ogre and if i kept on taking all of the people out of the cave they would eat my brain and then they would go down my throat and come out in my poo and swim around in the toilet

steak and the bailinator we rule!!!

my mom had told me if you pick your nose too much, you will end up touching your brains with your fingers. i never did that again!

I used to believe that if I picked my nose too much my brains would come out. I think my Mom probably told me that to stop me from picking. I was probably kindergarden age and I had a nightmare one night that woke me up. It felt so real that I had believed it was real. In the dream I was of course digging for gold, and pulled out a booger that was about the size of a grapefruit, and had the consistancy of Jello and was the most weird grey/green color. I thought for a few days there I was going to die cause how long can a kid live without a brain?

My dad is missing a finger from a carpentry accident. When we were little he would tell us that when he was little he was picking his now and a little man who lives in there bit off his finger. Needless to say, we never picked our noses again.

When I was little, my mom told me if I ate my boogers I would get worms like the dog.

Whenever I picked my nose, my mom would say "Are you diggin' for gold?" I'm still looking for it.

When I was little my mum told me that if i picked my nose i'd get worms.
But I quite liked this idea as i visualised lots of happy little cartoon worms in my stomach having a party and each time i ate a bogey it would make the party more fun.

My boyfriend has told me that when he was little he believed his father when he told him that if he picked his nose and ate the snot, they would rot his teeth.

my mom used to tell me that if you put your finger up your nose, a snail would crwal out and bite off your finger. i never did it again for fear of my finger.

I used to belive that if you picked your nose so far in with you pinkie, the nose monster would come and bite off your finger.

I believe that if I don't pick my nose it
will clog and I will no longer be able
to breathe

i cannot stop

when i was very little (about 3) i didn't know what boogers were. i asked my mom and she said they're brain turds.

My younger brother use to pick his nose so much that my cousin's boyfriend told him that a worm lives inside your nose and it's gonna bite your finger off if you pick your nose too far inside. I believed that for almost 5 years until he told me that it was just a lie so my little brother could stop picking his nose.

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!!!
