When I was about 3 or 4 I was eating my boogers when my gramdma told me that boogers were actually dead bugs. Never did that again!!

What?!

When I was little, I would pick my nose and throw the boogers on the floor (I never ate them). Then I would have nightmares of shuffling through thick piles of boogers throughout the house like autumn leaves! I never could figure out why they're made, and I still pick them, but I usually throw them in the trash can.

What else are they for?

my mum said to me when i was little that if i picked my nose my brain would come out of my nose! and i believed her lol!!! stupid huh?? x

This is disgusting - When I was at primary school I used to pick my nose, wipe the bogey under the table (which I called the oven). Then about a week later I would check under the table to see if it had been cooked and pick it off. Oh dear!!

When I was little, my mom told me that there was a snail that lived in my nose, and if I picked my nose the snail would bite my finger off!

I always picked me nose when I was younger (and still do)

My dad and mum used to tell me if I kept picking my nose I would burrow a hole to my brain and it would all come out my nostrils.

my brother used to pick his nose and smear it all over the wall. i thought i was way smarter then him because i would pick my nose and wipe it on the side of the bed so no one would know.

My little brother had a bad habit of picking his nose, and when we would tell him to stop, he would simply cover his finger and nose with his other hand, thinking that we couldn't see what he was doing.

I used to think that snot was called putty. I don't know why, though...

When i was younger I thought my parents knew about my nose picking because they were watching me through a television! My other theory was that they were mind readers when they were actually in the same room when i was doing it!

When I was at kindergarten age my mom used to tell me if I picked my nose that worms would grow in there. So every time I picked my nose I would suddenly think that the worms would come slither out my nose if I would continue on picking so with that thought I would stop immediately.

when i was little i used to pick my nose and eat my boogers ( i know... gross). One day my mom, aunt, and grandparents, and I went boating. I starting picking my nose and eating my boogers, my aunt caught me and told me that if i kept eating my boogers, worms would grow in my stomach! That definetly got me to stop eating my boogers....

When I was younger my father told me
& my sister that boogers where flies that had got caught in your nose to keep us from picking our nose-it worked.

When my brother was little my dad caught him picking his nose. Dad goes, don't do that, it's bad for you and you'll die. Brother takes his manky finger, licks it and says 'see. not dead!"

my brother used to believe that if he continued picking & eating his boogers.. they would go into his stomach and grow into worms.
