When I was about 5-years old, i was a constant nose-picker. My mom would often ask me at that age, "Are you looking for a cadillac? if you keep picking, you may!" Being the five-year old I was, I kept picking day after day until I got bloody noses.
I also watched a "Ren and Stimpy" cartoon where they destroyed the Lincoln Memorial because they thought his noggin was filled with gold. I then believe that everybody had gold in their brain, so I tried to pick my nose to find it.
All I got for my trouble were bloody noses and big nostrils. (sarcastically) Thanks a lot society!!!

still pickin'...

one of my friends told me that if i picked my nose then they would turn into worms and eat my insides.
needless to say i stoped

well when i was about 5 years old my mom caught me picking my nose and said to stop digging for gold. so , naturally, i thought there was gold in my nose. so one day soon after in school i told my friends there was gold in my nose... they didnt belive me so i said watch and started to pick my nose i got caught by my teacher and she said that if i stuck my finger up my nose a snail named chompey would bite my finger off.... i never picked my nose again.

I was once told that if I picked my nose it would grow and spread all around my head - I believed it for years!

My childminder used to tell me that if i picked my nose it would fall off. I tried really hard not to pick it but one day i had to, when i did i started crying cos i thought it would fall off!
To my surprise it never did fall off....
LOL!!

i used to believe that boogers were bits of your brain and if your nose bled that meant you picked 2 much.

bogie picker

my grandpa told me if you pick your nose too far then a snail will bite your finger off ha

When I was little, my mom told me that if I ate my boogers they would turn into worms and chew at my insides. I stopped eating my boogers.

One day i picked my nose and a hair came out with this slimy yellow stuff and blood vains my mum told me it was a hairy ogre and if i kept on taking all of the people out of the cave they would eat my brain and then they would go down my throat and come out in my poo and swim around in the toilet

steak and the bailinator we rule!!!

my mom had told me if you pick your nose too much, you will end up touching your brains with your fingers. i never did that again!

I used to believe that if I picked my nose too much my brains would come out. I think my Mom probably told me that to stop me from picking. I was probably kindergarden age and I had a nightmare one night that woke me up. It felt so real that I had believed it was real. In the dream I was of course digging for gold, and pulled out a booger that was about the size of a grapefruit, and had the consistancy of Jello and was the most weird grey/green color. I thought for a few days there I was going to die cause how long can a kid live without a brain?

My dad is missing a finger from a carpentry accident. When we were little he would tell us that when he was little he was picking his now and a little man who lives in there bit off his finger. Needless to say, we never picked our noses again.

i use to belive that when you picked your nose when you were ill and ate your bogeys it would make you better

I used to believe that the reason I would get sore throats were of all the buggers I ate, and they amassed into one large bugger patty in my throat

I used to believe that if you picked your nose too much it would fall off and it would bleed all the time and never stop. So I would go around and say " You better stop picking your nose or it will fall off"!!

No picking your nose

Remember the song, "Everybody's doing it, doing it, doing it,
picking their nose and chewing it , chewing it."? I learned the
next line as "Tastes like candy, but it's not . . ." So I thought
boogers were sweet! (I'm proud to say I hadn't eaten any.)

I was told that if I picked my nose too much i could pick my brain out of my head.
I was also told that if I picked my nose and ate it I was eating little bits of my brain.
I had lovely cousins! :p

Whenever I picked my nose, my mom would say "Are you diggin' for gold?" I'm still looking for it.

steven

When I was little my mum told me that if i picked my nose i'd get worms.
But I quite liked this idea as i visualised lots of happy little cartoon worms in my stomach having a party and each time i ate a bogey it would make the party more fun.

When I was little, my mom told me if I ate my boogers I would get worms like the dog.
