Almost 9 and STILL picking his nose!

[Jahzara]

OH NO !
I dont know how to stop it - sorry ! I have caught my 6 year old picking his nose a few times and shot him down with "the look" - thankfully i have never seen him eat it.
My Niece used to eat her boogies and i was always completely grossed out - i had to say something - i couldnt help myself- yukko. They live on the mainland now so i dont have to see it.
Kids like gross things - maybe they like the warm gooey sensation !
Hard one - it definitely becomes a habit !

sorry, couldnt help myself - some of the comments had me in fits of laughter.

sorry but my 10 yr old daughter is a picker and eater,

and as i hang my head in shame so am i, well a picker not an eater
I cant stand the feel of snot in my nose, i do use a tissue though, after working outdoors in a dusty environment my nose is super sensitive to the feel of snot so i just have to get it out,,, sorry TMI

just thought id say its just not boys im afraid.

Tan, I thought that everyone had a pick occasionally. Sometimes when you have an annoying little booger stuck up the back there is just no other way to get it out.
I guess that some people would rather deal with the annoying sensation than get their finger dirty.
