When I was little I used to pick my nose. My dad caught me once and told me that he'd 'swop a black one for a green one', meaning swop his with mine. I never picked my nose again!

MY friend used to tell me if you picked your nose you would pick right through and there would be a hole in the back of your head

I had two little friends who told my sister and I to eat boogers because they were salty.

I used to believe that if i enjoyed my boogers, everyone else must too. I have a vague memory of offering my sister one. I don't believe she took it.

When I was young I thought that if I picked my nose at night and the booger was left out in view monsters that ate boogers would come. I had to make sure my booger was in the garbage in another room.

Missa

yeah i used to pick my nose and eat it. so my parents told me if i kept doing it i would get an exotic disease where your throat gets so dry you cant swallow any boogers OR food. i stopped.

My Grandmother told me when I was little if you didn't pick your nose that the boogers would eat your skin and make your nose bleed and make your brain get sick

In prescool, i had the bad habit of picking my nose and eating my boogers. my teacher told me that boogers were dirt and that's what i was eating. I told her i didn't care, as long as it tasted good.

When my brother was little my dad caught him picking his nose. Dad goes, don't do that, it's bad for you and you'll die. Brother takes his manky finger, licks it and says 'see. not dead!"

I used to believe that if I picked my nose too much, my "black gold" supply would run out and I would become "filthy unrich", anyway, that was a belief my Aunt inserted into me!

I have no idea how I came to believe this, but as a child I thought that there was a triangular shaped booger inside your nose and when you accidently picked it, that's what caused nose-bleeds. Gross.

Growing up, my older brother told me that eating my boogers would make strong like Popeye. During dinner he would pick his own boogers & trade me. My desert for his "freshly picked" nose gummies. Mmmmmm. To this day I don't eat any kinds deserts. But strangely, I sometimes have cravings for a freshly picked one.
