Why Do Kids Eat Their Boogers?

[NiNi.R.]

Especially the ones old enough to know better...ugh! I can get pooped, peed, puked on.. Heck a kid could even wipe their boogers on me...but nothing is more gross to me that when a kid eats their boogers.

I've caught my SA doing it 3 times today....NASTY!

:confused:.... one of life's mysteries.....:confused:

I wish humans didn't evolve with fingers that fit perfectly in nostrils!!!!::

Have them go wash their hands, brush their teeth, and drink a glass of water each time.

Good luck!

my dh was joking around one day and said that's why he never gets sick, cause he eats his boogers. the kids over heard and now i'm battling with one kid to stop eating his boogers, that dh was just joking!

but speaking of boogers, i just found some wiped on the wall under the toilet paper roll holder. couldn't see it before because the roll was full and it hid it. GRRRRRR i hate boogers, they disgust me.

Worse than that(and that is second on my list of ewwwww!) is dcb that I had for 4 years and his tongue was so long he just licked it clean. I'm sure if he lives to be old enough he will make some women very happy but in the meantime I wanted to tape his mouth closed.

hahaha childminder, you just gave me a great idea! maybe I should patent it.

some sort of nose attachment for children who aren't able to wipe their nose (mainly babies), with a bag. Basically a nose catheter.
