You Can’t Pick Your Friend’s Nose

08.22.2014 by Lynn Morrison /

There is no greater truism in life than:

You can pick your friends. You can pick your nose. But you can’t pick your friend’s nose.

You can, however, pick your kid’s nose, and thank god for that, ammiright?!?! It bugs the crap out of me because I have no earthly idea how the giant booger sticking out of my kid’s nose cannot bother her. How does she not feel that?!?!

With the school season starting back again any day now (and already for some of you), our kids will be right back into the germy cesspool that we justify exposing them to so that they can learn important things like reading, writing and how to prolong that emergency run to the bathroom so that they can avoid being called up to the blackboard to solve the daily math problem. (Wait a minute, they don’t have blackboards anymore. WTH. Sorry, I’m clearly 117 and suffering from dementia.)(Also, apologies for the Faulkner-esque long sentence.)

Anyhoo….since snotty noses are in all of our near futures, I’m saving up my pennies for a giant stash of boogie wipes from Walmart. Seriously, I’m planning to fill a suitcase with them on my next trip to the US.

In celebration of Great Grape Boogie Wipes being sold at Walmart, I’m teaming up with Boogie Wipes to offer the Great Grape Summer Giveaway!

    ok… I feel a little better… as I wiped a booger flake off the edge of my boyfriends nose… he freaked and told me I had gone too far and cited “cant pick your friends nose” rule. Although, I think he secretly enjoyed it. Maybe now he will check his nose more regulary… or I will have to marry him
