I used to believe that everybody's head, above their eyes, was full of boogers, and while you slept at night they slid down into your nose to replace the ones that got picked earlier.

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.

When I was small, I used to think that eating boogars after brushing my teeth was bad, so I wiped them on the wall. My mom had to scrub them off the wall.

When I was little my dad told me that if I picked my nose my eye would fall out. I was petrified. It wasn't until like 10 years later when I was 14 or so that my mom finally told me he was kidding.

When I was younger I had a pretty nasty cold and I was blowing my nose. My mom told me if I blew any harder I would blow my brains out right through my nose. I cried and cried and cried....she told me she didn't mean it like that, but to this day I can't stand blowing my nose lol.

I used to believe if you picked your nose, your brains would fall out your nose.

My mother once told me that i shouldn't sniff to clear my nose, because the boogers would go into my brain. After that, i was scared to do it, even though i didn't believe her.

When I was younger my best friend's dad told me if you picked your nose and ate your boogers, they would turn into worms in your stomach.

My Mom used to tell me not to pick my nose because "buggers turn into bugs"...now, obviously this was an innocent attempt to keep my fingers out of my nostrils. I don't know if I really believed her, at first..anyway. But one day after digging for the nasal ore, I looked down and saw a ladybug...believe it or not that made a believer out of me. (Side note.....I actually believed that buggers were a part of brain tissue that had slipped down into the nose...I really did, hey, I was a weird kid..but, then, I'm kind of an odd adult, too.
