To scare me out of picking my nose, my grandmother told me the boogers would turn into worms.

...This only made me try harder.

My mother thought "boogers" was a vulgar word, so she always called them "treasures" (as in "digging for treasures"). For years I believed this was the actual scientific name for them - and hence also thought that Captain Kangaroo lived in the Booger House!

my friends dad told me if i pick my nose i will poke out my eyeball. My parents also had a friend who didn't have any fingernails and he would say, see what happens when you bite your nails. I believed them both.

this is really gross, but when i was very young, for whatever reason, i believed that my boogers had tiny little souls and when i picked my nose, i would ball them up and group them together in a bizarre 'hiding place'--on the seat of a defunct exercise bike in our front yard and sometimes i'd talk to them...the idea that those things came out of my nose held an incomprehensible fascination for me.

gross kid

My dad told me of a co-worker that used to pick his nose so much that he had a hole at the top of nose. I never dig too hard!LOL

my mom told me if I picked my nose I would get worms. So the next time I picked my nose, I proclaimed loudly "I've got worms!"

I used to believe that the boogy man would come and strangle any one who picked thier nose.

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.

When I was younger, we used to travel to the States to go on vacation. My parents told me that I wasn't allowed to pick my nose or the police would take me away and I would have to go back to Canada!! Wow!!

When I was really young, I used to pick my nose and then have my lunch with it :) Then my mom told me one day that if I continue to do that, then someday I too would turn into a big booger. So I stopped. Who wants to be all green and slimy?
