retired nose picker

When I was little I used to pick my nose and one day I heard on the radio that Wayne Gretzy retired and I asked my dad what retired meant and he said to quit a job for a little bit but come back to it if you want to, so when I was about in kidnergarden, I stopped picking my nose, but after a bit I started again and in the car on day my older sister said, "I thought you stopped picking your nose," and I said , "I retired."

Nose Picker :-p

Many of us kids were told, when we were small, that we each had a snail living deep up our noses, and if we stuck our fingers far enough up there, we'd find out how the nose-snails were different from the regular dirt-snails: They had teeth, and would bite the tips of our fingers off.

I used to believe that if I picked my nose, it would stretch and become big enough to serve as a tunnel for a train! Although this was scary, it just got more tempting to pick my nose.

I used to believe that if you picked your nose long enough you would touch your brain. That is what stopped me from picking my nose.

Nose-Picker

When I was little, my Dad would tell me that if you pick your nose and then eat your boogers, then the boogers turn into worms in your stomach.
