My mum told me that if you picked your nose and flicked it on the floor then it would turn into a monster!

When I was little I used to believe that my boogers were alive, and had a life up inside my nose, so I would pull 1 out, talk to it, and "put it back in it's house for later"

I used to believe that if you pick your nose while driving or in the car with someone, if the car stops fast your finger will go all the way up your nose and get stuck. then you'll die for damaging your brain.

My grandma told me that if I didn't stop, my stomach would get really big, then it would explode. I believed her until I got in the 8th grade and studied the digestive tract.

When I was little my mom told me that if I continued to pick my nose then the finger bird would swoop down(he always knew when you did it..and could come out of air vents) and bite off your fingers and then you'd just have little nubs. And you can't color with nubs.

I used to believe that whenever i picked my nose, i was picking out part of my brain..my brother convinced me i was right..that's what got me to stop when i was a kid...
haha..now i see how bizzarre i am..

I was told that picking my nose would cause my nose to either grow enormously big or be misshapen because my fingers would cause stretching in the nostrils..

Boogers came from magical booger fairies that mined them over night and put them in your nose in the morning.

My grandma told me at a younge age that if I picked my nose and ate my boogers that they would turn into warms in my stomach. Talk about a good way to stop a nasty habit. I even tell this one to my child and my friends children. No booger eaters around here!

when i was about 7 or 8 my sister told me that if you pick your nose and whipe it on someone it would turn into a mole(the bigger the bugger, the bigger the mole) so her and my brothers would whipe their buggers on me just to see me run screaming to the bathroom to wash them off.

when i was little i used to think there was a worm way up your nose and if you picked your nose too far up it would bite your finger off

i used to belive u had to pick ur nose or u couldent breath .. so one day i was doing it on the bus i was about 6 or 7 and my best friend told the bus driver that i wiped it on the seat so he turned the intercom on and said Gabby stop picking your nose!

Many of us kids were told, when we were small, that we each had a snail living deep up our noses, and if we stuck our fingers far enough up there, we'd find out how the nose-snails were different from the regular dirt-snails: They had teeth, and would bite the tips of our fingers off.

when i was a kid i used to believe that the people in the pictures could see me so i never picked my nose, even in the presence of pictures

"logan"

ok i thought that since i picked my nose when i was little.... i thought there was a little doll in my nose and she would come around and "re-stock" my nose every night with a minni wheelbarrow when i was sleeping and when i sneezed i was afraid she was in there and than she would be lost forever!

Emily

When I was little, my friend's mother told me there was a snail that lives inside of your nose, and if you pick your nose, he will chew off your fingernail, and after that, he would bite your finger off!

Erika

I used to think that if i wasnt picking my nose (which was a habit of mine until i became eight) there were little dwarven miners, looking for snot. (what in the world was i thinking?!?!?) I got this belief when my my caught me picking my nose and said "Oi, looking for gold, Stevie?"

Stevensonbak

When i was in the 1st grade, i had a habit of eating my boogers.(disgusting, right?) I sat in the very front of the room, and during a spelling test, i just had this craving to pick my nose. I dont know why, i just did. and i "accidentally" dropped my pencil under my desk. And when i went to go bend down to get my pencil, i would pick my boogers and eat them.

ewwwwww!!

Choo Choo Train

I used to belive that there was gold in my nose because pepole would always say that i was "diggin' for gold"!
