my mother always told me that if I picked my nose my eyeballs would fall out of my head! I knew that when you sneezed your eyes always shut so I always thought there was a definite relationship between one's eye and nose functions.

When I was younger my father told me that if I picked my nose my nostril would stretch to accommodate the size of my finger.
Lord knows I didn't want big holes in my nose so I stopped picking my nose.
On the bus in elementary school there was a boy picking his nose. I started yelling how gross it was (especially since he ate it) when he argued back that boogers were made of sugar. I argued it was dirt and other gross stuff but he honestly believed they were sugar and ate them like candy.
If you eat your boogers you'll get worms

When I was in kindergarten an older girl told me that if I picked my nose, worms would grow in my stomach. I asked her if she meant earthworms, and she said yes.
I didn't believe her, because I knew earthworms lived in the dirt and weren't parasites.

My uncle once told me that if you picked your nose too deep a spider would grab it and your finger would be stuck forever. Oddly, it didn't break my habit of picking, it just gave me severe arachnophobia!
when I was a kid, I picked my nose a lot, and I always thought that there was a giant snot incide and that when you pick your nose you just take off the snot's children. I was always trying to reach the giant one.

Boogers came from magical booger fairies that mined them over night and put them in your nose in the morning.

When I was younger I use to pick my nose and eat it, not sure why but I did. So one day my moms friend came over with a clipping from the news paper of a littler girl. She told me that if I kept eating my boggers I would end up just like this little girl. When I asked what happened she told me that the girl had died from eating her boggers. I was so shocked that I didnt talk for a few days.
When I was young, I used to pick my nose a lot. This was because the Boogie Man lived under my bed and the only way to keep him from kidnapping my blankie was to leave booger offerings on the wall beside my bed.

Man. When I was little - like, very little. Maybe three or four? My grandmother used to tell me that, if I picked my nose, my eyeballs would pop out. According to my parents, I /bawled/ the first time she told me that.

i used to believe that boggies are parts of fluff that fly in to your nose

When I was little my mom told me that if I continued to pick my nose then the finger bird would swoop down(he always knew when you did it..and could come out of air vents) and bite off your fingers and then you'd just have little nubs. And you can't color with nubs.
maddie
I used to believe there were spiders in my nose. My mother told me this when I was really little to keep me from picking my nose. I looked at her horrified and almost unable to move with tears running down my face and asked her to take them out for me.
