When I was younger my best friend's dad told me if you picked your nose and ate your boogers, they would turn into worms in your stomach.

My Mom used to tell me not to pick my nose because "buggers turn into bugs"...now, obviously this was an innocent attempt to keep my fingers out of my nostrils. I don't know if I really believed her, at first..anyway. But one day after digging for the nasal ore, I looked down and saw a ladybug...believe it or not that made a believer out of me. (Side note.....I actually believed that buggers were a part of brain tissue that had slipped down into the nose...I really did, hey, I was a weird kid..but, then, I'm kind of an odd adult, too.

When I was younger I use to pick my nose and eat it, not sure why but I did. So one day my moms friend came over with a clipping from the news paper of a littler girl. She told me that if I kept eating my boggers I would end up just like this little girl. When I asked what happened she told me that the girl had died from eating her boggers. I was so shocked that I didnt talk for a few days.

My mother once told me that if I ate my boogers they would turn into maggots in my belly and I would have to get my stomach pumped.

My Dad told me that bogies were actually your brain. This was meant to stop me picking my nose and eating it. It worked!

When I was younger mhenever my mother caught me picking my nose she would say "stop digging for gold" For a while I didn't stop because I thought I could make my family rich by selling my boogers.

When I was about 4, I used to pick my nose alot and my dad told me that the boogers I pulled out were actually pieces of my brain. It scared me really bad and I was so sure I'd run out of brains and end up dead.

When I was at kindergarten age my mom used to tell me if I picked my nose that worms would grow in there. So every time I picked my nose I would suddenly think that the worms would come slither out my nose if I would continue on picking so with that thought I would stop immediately.

When I was about 6, (I am 12 now) my grandma told me that if I ate my boogers, that worms would grow in my stomach. I believed her and I stopped.

When i was really young, I was a nose picker. My dad saw me doing it one day and said "If you keep picking your nose, the Pick Your Nose Guy will come." I then asked who the Pick Your Nose Guy was and he said that he was a monster disguised as an elderly man who would chase after me if he saw me doing it. I totally believed that for like 2 or 3 years!!
