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.
