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.
