Someone's Got To Do It

It seems like lately whenever I look over at Big pup he has his finger in his nose. I don't want to embarrass him by yelling, "Stop picking your nose!" so I'll usually say something like, "Do you need a Kleenex?" But he always says no and continues picking his nose. Apparently, 6 year olds don't take hints very well.

So when I caught him doing it the other day I said, "What are you doing?" And he said, "Pickin' boogers. It's my job."

He may not understand the meaning of subtlety, but he has a good work ethic.

LOL! You should ask him next time if his brain itches. HAHAHAHA!

If picking boogers is a job, then between my three kids we should be rolling in the money! HAHA!

That is too true. Monkey is only a year old so when she shoves her finger up he nose I am just happy she knows she has a nose!

Oh I am so ROTFLMAO!!!!
You know Er never really picked her nose (that I saw anyway) but Em she picks and picks and picks all the time. Sometimes she has her finger so far up her nose I am wondering if she is actually touching her brain.

funny! My nephew does this and I told him a snail was going to bite his finger (you know the Shell Silverstein) poem and he didn't believe me. Darn it! Nose picking bugs me too.

Scary Mommy said...

That's too funny!!! I have a nose picker too, who'd be a millionaire if she got paid by the pick. It drives me nuts!!

Mary Lynn said...

Too funny! I use the "Do you need a Kleenex" line with my daughter. She always says No, too.

My 17-month old just found the joy of picking her nose, but we made the mistake of laughing the first couple of times. Now, she does it all.the.time. to get a laugh.

Good times.
