Snot is hazardous to your health.

Well, I have one of those children. You know the ones that you see digging for gold in their noses and then...tasting their discoveries?
I can't believe I am even typing this out loud, but my son is a nosepicker who likes to eat the fruit of his labour. He does it at home, at the store, in the car. He just knows no bounds. Privately or publicly, his nose is his oyster. I mean the kid has the tiniest nose on earth, where is this stuff coming from?
Today, driving home from Costco, I looked in my rearview mirror and sure enough, he was doing his mining. It was just way too disgusting for words! So I did what any good parent would do. I told him that snot was poisonous and would make his stomach really, really sick if he continued to eat it.
I don't think it did much to dissuade him, but I think I'm going to stick with this whopper until he stops this sickening habit!
