The problem with this is that he's blind and doesn't know when his friends are staring at him. I taught him how to cover it or face away from the class but it's so obvious to me lol. I subtlety put a kleenex against his hand for him, or ask him if he wants one. He usually stops then. It was really bad when they were sitting in groups facing each other and the boy across from him was staring right at him.<br /><br />I do, however, agree that it's impossible to get it out by blowing but I don't pick and eat and I use a kleenex to dig and I don't do it outside of the bathroom... lol ewwwAllyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612513914926320135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-76899266262962981912009-03-25T16:39:00.000-04:002009-03-25T16:39:00.000-04:00I scared a nose-picking boy I babysat for once man...I scared a nose-picking boy I babysat for once many years ago by reading Shel Silverstein's Warning:<BR/><BR/>"Inside everybody's nose<BR/>There lives a sharp-toothed snail.<BR/>So if you stick your finger in,<BR/>He may bite off your nail.<BR/>Stick it farther up inside,<BR/>And he may bite your ring off.<BR/>Stick it all the way, and he<BR/>May bite the whole darn thing off."<BR/><BR/>This boy was convinced there was a snail inside his nose.

He puts the "pieces of feet" in a pile on the end table. Then he leaves it there. The first time I found a PIECE OF FOOT in my baby daughter's mouth, I threatened him with, "I'm telling your mother!" Sometimes I ask myself what I would have done if I had known all of this before I married him. Maybe there would have been something about feet-&-nose-picking in the prenup.Jaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717970405600398443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-3850684381488328292009-03-13T09:35:00.000-04:002009-03-13T09:35:00.000-04:00Band-Aids on the fingers will get you through a mo...Band-Aids on the fingers will get you through a movie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-39749398291488257802009-03-11T11:06:00.000-04:002009-03-11T11:06:00.000-04:00I can't stop laughing!
