Here in our household lie many a secret. One in which I feel compelled to share with the world today.
We have nose picking problems. THERE! I said it.
And worse than that... we have booger eating problems. (Insert sound effect of me dry heaving here...) Yes, people... this is a real problem. Not so much with the oldest... strangely- never really a problem with him in this area, but come Beetle and now K-girl- ughhhh, we're losing little appendages up small nostrils almost daily.
Last night as the family was together in the living room watching American Idol (Paul by default of course) Beetle was on the couch with his pointer finger up his nose to his knuckle. Paul told him to stop picking his nose... and then dramatically I chimed in with,

"Eeeeeewwwwwww. Cooooooome Onnnnnnn!!"
As I finished screeching, Beetle took his finger out of his nose and put it into his mouth. (Insert sound clip of me actually hurling here.) He just giggled. Paul told him more sternly, "Beetle(only he used his first name of course), we don't pick our nose" to which I followed up with, "And we most certainly DON'T EAT IT!!"
And then the worst of all.. as we again demanded that should he do that again... t he would be found on punishment- he whined....
"BUT, (long pause) IT TASTES SOOOOO GOOOD!!"
ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK
It's a sad sad world when your child believes the booger is a tastey treat. But that's what it is here in our home. Despite all attempts to quell such activity... the children refuse to resist the temptation. And K-girl... she's not far behind Beetle in this process....
Here's Proof-
IF WE COULD ALL JUST RESIST THE TEMPTATION! PLEASE.....

EEW, ick.
One of the reasons I"m having trouble with the name Charlie, for our baby, is because of an elementary school classmate who did this incessantly...til we were quite old (well, 4th grade). It grossed me out (he also tortured everyone with his boogers).
You better tell your kids that unless they stop this, they might be the only kids in the world with the names Kylee, Brenden and Caeden, from this day forward. Picking your nose and eating it can make your name die a slow, painful, death.
Until someone like me comes along and decides it's time to redeem the name.
