I used to believe that the reason I would get sore throats were of all the buggers I ate, and they amassed into one large bugger patty in my throat

I used to believe that if you picked your nose too much it would fall off and it would bleed all the time and never stop. So I would go around and say " You better stop picking your nose or it will fall off"!!

— No picking your nose

I used to believe…

Remember the song, "Everybody's doing it, doing it, doing it,
picking their nose and chewing it , chewing it."? I learned the
next line as "Tastes like candy, but it's not . . ." So I thought
boogers were sweet! (I'm proud to say I hadn't eaten any.)

I was told that if I picked my nose too much i could pick my brain out of my head.
I was also told that if I picked my nose and ate it I was eating little bits of my brain.
I had lovely cousins! :p

I used to believe that if I picked my nose too much my brains would come out. I think my Mom probably told me that to stop me from picking. I was probably kindergarden age and I had a nightmare one night that woke me up. It felt so real that I had believed it was real. In the dream I was of course digging for gold, and pulled out a booger that was about the size of a grapefruit, and had the consistancy of Jello and was the most weird grey/green color. I thought for a few days there I was going to die cause how long can a kid live without a brain?

My dad is missing a finger from a carpentry accident. When we were little he would tell us that when he was little he was picking his now and a little man who lives in there bit off his finger. Needless to say, we never picked our noses again.

When I was little my mum told me that if i picked my nose i'd get worms.
But I quite liked this idea as i visualised lots of happy little cartoon worms in my stomach having a party and each time i ate a bogey it would make the party more fun.
