I am Surrounded By Boogers!

Do you ever feel that way? Little C has developed this horrible habit of realizing he has a ton of sticky mucus in his nose every time he gets in the car. Every two seconds I hear, "Mom, I have a booger. Mom, I have a booger." Then, "Can I have a tissue, can I have a tissue?"

I must admit that I am extremely grateful for the tissue request, but rest assured, we already went through the boogers on the window phase
.
But, what happens with all of those lovely tissues? You got it - they end up on the floor of your car. And few things are worse than picking up someone else's used tissues. Especially when they are too young to conceal the pollution that was blown therein. SOLUTION:

Just in case you're driving by a sexy black wagon with a 5 year old's finger hanging out the window; booger dangling on end - that's us! Feel free to wave. Just one final word: I hope one doesn't flip on your car-because they are little buggers to clean off. :)

I AM AWARE THAT ELSE'S AND OLD'S ARE NOT EVEN WORDS - BUT MY BRAIN COULDN'T COME UP WITH PROPER SUBSTITUTIONS. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING!

You should teach him to eat them. That will solve all of the problems. They won't be on the window, he won't leave tissues in the car, he won't flick them on passerbys, and he might not even notify you that he has one. Plus, there are a lot of good nutrients in them. From what I remember Jed eats his too. I mean do you remember Jed ever asking you for a tissue?

I remember my first cousin Lane getting me to try eating boogers, but I never did get the hang of it. I remember him saying, "they're kind of salty"! I guess I can think my lucky stars that we never had this phase at our house. "Boogers R not US". Thanks for keeping me entertained!

I am so glad I don't live in your state! The last thing I need is boogers dangling out our car windows....My darlings haven't seen little C preform this skill, have they?
What are you signing Jake up for?

Fantasy Football - I don't know how many invites the Beloved Spouse has left but would your head of household be interested?

Thanks for the compliments on my photography! You and Jed should come down and get some pics. By the way--Gracie picks and eats so count yourself lucky! :-)

I love boogers! As long as they don't eat them...or put them on me, or their sibling.
