That one’s funny enough I would have to go to him. No way I could let that one slide without a laugh and a hug!

You should have picked it out and made em eat it. Okay, that’s gross. I don’t know. Most nights I throw my hands up in defeat.

I would have just told him it would come out on its own as long as he went right to sleep and kept his eyes shut tight so no more boogers fell in. Mine have figured out that most of their requests get no response, but if they ask for another hug, I might make the trek up there.

You should have told him, since he picked it out of his nose, he should just pick it out of his eye…..and eat it! Come on – ALL kids do that! Gross, but true!

I can’t think of what you should have done next but you should have tied him down when you put him to bed. You should do that every night. Then they won’t be up until an acceptable hour when you release them the next morning.

I remember not long after my grandfather died.. maybe a week later.. I was.. about 10? Anyway, I hadn’t really shed a tear over his passing, I just kept on with my routine, and then one night I woke up crying and after crying for about 5 minutes just kept watching Murphy Brown with my parents.

Mum accused me of faking the tears to watch Murphy Brown.. but I’m pretty sure I was sad when I got out of bed. Murphy Brown just made me happy again.

Does any of this make me sound like a horrible person? Especially the part about my mum thinking I had it in me to fake sadness over my grandfathers death just to watch Murphy Brown?

Sorry, can’t respond….laughing too hard!!! Booger in the eye??? It’s times like this when I remember why it’s a good thing that I don’t have kids! Really, really don’t know how I would have responded other than peeing my pants from laughing so hard….although I could have sent Pete to sort it out..he’s still a kid and might be able to relate!!

BWAHAHHAHAHA! I am dying over here!! A BOOGER in the eye! AMAZING!

I would have said, “Well, since you’re so good at picking boogers, why don’t you just pick it out of your eye?! Goodnight.”

i don’t have kiddos- so i can’t speak professionally. but, i can only imagine i would do something mean, like tell them boogers rot eyeballs, and now that eyeball will most likely fall out over night. way to go.

i may be getting sucked into the office picture thing. everyone is making me want to do it. yes if everyone jumped off a bridge,i would too.

Girl, I don’t have kids yet so this is probably the wrong thing to do, but I would’ve made up some BS about how eyeballs naturally repel boogers and it would be physically impossible to have a booger in your eyeball. So, nice try, but go to bed.

Maybe I shouldn’t have kids.

ps – guess what i did? a tour of my workspace… come check it out.
