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

When I was little my older sister would pick her nose and tell me that it was good to do because boogers contained Vitamin C. I still thought it was grose and chose not to get Vitamin C via my boogers. To this day I still joke with her about it.

When I was about 6 or 7 years old my grandpa saw me picking my nose and eating it. He told me that every booger i ate was pieces of my brain and that i was going to end up eating all of my brains. It scared me because i thought i would eat all of my brains and be stupid. i didnt eat a booger since then.

When I was about 4 yrs old, my Dad had to go to the bank after Church. He took me with him, and I was dressed up in a cute little dress. He set me up on the counter, as he did his business there. I started picking my nose, and my Dad saw me and said "Don't do that, honey, Little girls don't pick their nose." As innocently as can be, I replied "Only Daddys do?". I'll never forget the teller laughing so hard.

I didn't realize til later that I had totally ratted out HIS bad habit publicly.
LOL

i used to believe that when i picked my nose gremlins would appear from my bottom because inside of my nose there was a button that said gremlin injection. so one day i picked my nose and then wore a nappy just in case. by the way im 24.

I believed, because I was told by my big brother, that if you picked your nose and ate it, it would all coagulate (I don;t think I knew that word then) into a large ball in your body and you'd then die...

When I was a child, my father used to say, "Don't pick your nose, or your bum will fall off". This was a good deterrent for about a week... Then I picked my nose (by accident), nothing happened & I figured out that my father was either clueless, or just a liar!

I still pick my nose!!!
