BooGer

Hope this doesn't make anyone sick. If you are easily nauseated by gross stories stop reading now. A few weeks ago I caught Adrie "tasting" a booger. I nearly lost my lunch. I understand that every kid has to go through this stage. In fact I remember being young and having my mom tell me that if I ate my boogers that worms would grow in my tummy. So as I tried not to gag I explained to Adrie that we don't eat our boogers, that they are gross and go in a Kleenex or to give it to mommy. We don't eat them! Well, when she sucks her thumb a lot of times her little finger wanters up her little nose and pulls out a little boogie. So what does she do with it? Exactly what I told her to she runs to me saying "Booger" and holds her little finger up to me with what is usually a nasty sticky booger on it. And as I try not to gag I say thank you Adrie good job and run to the nearest box of Kleenex then to the sink to wash. Hey at least she isn't eating it. I think I may have to bring the Kleenex down to her level and teach her to put her booger in the kleenex then in the garbage. GAG!
