when I wuz like 4 i had a friend that used to pick her nose, ALOT. So my mom finally got disgusted of it and told me to tell her that if she picked her nose her head would cave in. So the next day when I went to preschool i told her exactly what my mom said to me, and we cried, and cried, and cried. Cuz as far as we knew, she wuz gonna die. Pretty gulable eh? It wasnt till a week l8er that her mom called my mom and asked exactly how her daughter got this thought in her head.
