I have an odd belief... that eating boogers is innate survival instinct.
Why else would every single child on earth have this disgusting habit?
I'm sure I did it when I was a kid.
I've witnessed each of my four kids doing it.
And yesterday, walking through the parking lot with one of my children, I noticed a little dangler from that child's nose. I didn't say anything, since I didn't have a tissue to use to correct the situation.
Next time I glanced down at this child I saw the booger getting picked (it was a good one too). Knowing that I had no tissue, and not wanting to wipe it on me (which I HAVE done in the past- the inside of the bottom of many of my pants has been a secret kid booger spot for years), I just watched the scenario play out.
Pick.
Examine.
Then into the mouth.
I'll admit as soon as I saw it get close to the mouth I had to look away.
My gag reflex is pretty strong.
