bad habits: picking my nose

I used to believe…

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"

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 used to believe that eating your bogeys gave you worms

I used to believe…

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.

when i was little i used to pick my nose and i used to take out the boogies and then smell them the roll it and then throw it away and then lick my finger....but the my mom saw me and told me that if i picked my nose the boogie monster would come out of my nose and eat my nose and chew my finger....it scared me at first but then i started doing it again

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.

My younger brother use to pick his nose so much that my cousin's boyfriend told him that a worm lives inside your nose and it's gonna bite your finger off if you pick your nose too far inside. I believed that for almost 5 years until he told me that it was just a lie so my little brother could stop picking his nose.

My grandfather had lost part of a finger in some sort of accident. When I was younger, he told me that a snail lived up in your nose and if you stuck your finger in your nose the snail would bite it. He claimed that he had stuck his finger too far up his nose and that the snail had bit it off!

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

I used to believe that whenever you pick and then eat your boogers you would get worms in your tummy and that the worms would then eat threw your tummy because they were scared of the dark and your tummy was dark on the inside.
