I used to believe that if you pick your nose, that a evil, slimy, sharp-toothed snail would come and bite your finger off!!!

My Dad told me that bogies were actually your brain. This was meant to stop me picking my nose and eating it. It worked!

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 about 6, (I am 12 now) my grandma told me that if I ate my boogers, that worms would grow in my stomach. I believed her and I stopped.

When i was really young, I was a nose picker. My dad saw me doing it one day and said "If you keep picking your nose, the Pick Your Nose Guy will come." I then asked who the Pick Your Nose Guy was and he said that he was a monster disguised as an elderly man who would chase after me if he saw me doing it. I totally believed that for like 2 or 3 years!!

My Grandma told me that boogers were part of your brain. I believed her...

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.

My sister once told my child, who was picking their nose, that if they didn't stop it their eyeballs would fall out. It worked!

When I was about 4, I used to pick my nose alot and my dad told me that the boogers I pulled out were actually pieces of my brain. It scared me really bad and I was so sure I'd run out of brains and end up dead.

i used to think there were little umpa lompa men (out of charlie and the chocalte factory) up my nose and they made boggies they slept all day and worked all day and thats why i always had boggies first thing in the morning.

i used to think boogers were chewing gum. Gross, i know!

I used to think that there was tiny little people that lived in my nose and made my boogers. So if I ran out of boogers, I had to wait for the little people to make more.

not telling!

My husband used to believe that he had two stomachs. One was for food, and the other was for the boogers he ate!
