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 younger, I used to think that little dwarfs lived in my nose and mined booges like crystals. I was afraid to hurt the dwarfes if i picked my nose. I imagined them like the ones in Snow White.

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 about 6 or 7 years old my grandpa saw me picking my nose and eating it. He told me that every booger i ate was pieces of my brain and that i was going to end up eating all of my brains. It scared me because i thought i would eat all of my brains and be stupid. i didnt eat a booger since then.

My sisters convinced me that mucus was dead brain cells and if you picked your nose, it would make you stupid.

When I was younger mhenever my mother caught me picking my nose she would say "stop digging for gold" For a while I didn't stop because I thought I could make my family rich by selling my boogers.

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.

my uncle told his son that if he picked his nose and ate his boogers that he would have worms in his poop, he never ater his boogers again

samantha

I thought if i picked my nose too many times, my head would blow up.

My mother once told me that if I ate my boogers they would turn into maggots in my belly and I would have to get my stomach pumped.
