it’s always funny at first
May 10, 2007
This morning Miles stood on my case of diet coke and got into the junk drawer. The drawer that is a black hole sucking everything that has no permanent home in a 5 mile radius into it’s dark abyss. Broken crayons, lost buttons, plastic things that people swear belong to some game I don’t think we have ever owned, small notepads with most of the pages used up, bits of string… all of these things call this drawer home.
Way in the back was one of those blue bulb baby snot suckers.
Miles pulled it out and used it on himself a few times. He threw it down to floor and laughed after every time. A far different reaction than I got from him when I would try to use it. Let’s just say there was never any laughing involved. On his part.
After a couple of minutes he decided to share the fun. He slowly went around the house and stuck it into the noses of his unsuspecting siblings. Who all loudly screamed their displeasure.
I laughed from the other room.
That is until I heard Miles exclaim, “Yummy!”
Then I threw up a little in my mouth.

EWWWW! My two year old will stick it in his mouth, but there is never anything in it for him to eat. Now I think I am going to puke.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:24 amOh ew ew ew ew ew to the second degree!
May 10th, 2007 at 10:56 amEww… Eww.. but laughing at the same time.
May 10th, 2007 at 11:17 amAnd I just got a visual of my favorite cartoon of two squirrels roasting their acorns over an open campfire, and one acorn falls in, “It’s always fun and games, until someone loses a nut.”
Unhappily, boogers are on our daily menu these days.
May 10th, 2007 at 11:33 amOMG, I’m peeing my pants right now. That was hilarious!
May 10th, 2007 at 11:43 amEeeewww!

May 10th, 2007 at 12:37 pmEwwwwwweeeeeeee! I’m so glad I finished my breakfast before checking in on your household! Now I’m still chuckling at the thought of it!
May 10th, 2007 at 12:42 pm“Yummy!” funny how a word like yummy can be so, not yummy
May 10th, 2007 at 1:34 pmYou know they say they taste sweet! EWWW.
May 10th, 2007 at 1:43 pmGross! But, Roo has just started picking his nose the other day. I know it’s just a matter of time until he pops one in his mouth.
May 10th, 2007 at 1:48 pmOOOOO!! Better your kid than mine!! HAHAHAHA
May 10th, 2007 at 2:00 pmI found my 18 month old, who had been rummaging through one of the small drawers on his changing table this morning, sucking on our last remaining (hospital grade green- best ones ever). It promptly got tossed into the garbage, but I too, threw up in my mouth a little.
May 10th, 2007 at 2:45 pm******* GIRL YOU GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE AND PUT A DISCLAIMER ON THAT POST ! *********
Vomit discolors carpet and mine is white.
May 10th, 2007 at 3:03 pmAs my three year old would say, “Ewwww! ‘Gusting!”
May 10th, 2007 at 3:07 pm“Nummy!!” is one of those words that bring me running from the other room faster than “oops” or “uh-oh.” Very very rarely does “Nummy” even remotely apply.
May 10th, 2007 at 3:10 pmfighting the vomit back down!!!
May 10th, 2007 at 3:58 pmSo Gross, but OMG so funny!
May 10th, 2007 at 4:12 pmoh, what i have to look forward to. hahhahahaha!
May 10th, 2007 at 4:18 pmHA HA HA HA!!!!!! LOVE THIS!
May 10th, 2007 at 4:23 pmHa ha ha! I guess there’s always the reason to be thankful that he didn’t come and stick it in your mouth after his rounds! Oh, I wanted to tell you that I have moved into an older house now that I will be renovating also. Perhaps I can get some ideas from you. Stop by and check it out!
May 10th, 2007 at 6:18 pmHilarious. And nauseating.
May 10th, 2007 at 8:26 pmIs it bad that I was only mildly disgusted by this post? After being a mother to a 3 and a 1 year old, almost nothing turns my stomach anymore
May 10th, 2007 at 8:48 pmOh, I remember the days of the booger sucker. Nothing about it can gross me out! LOL!
May 10th, 2007 at 9:26 pmOh wow. I really DID have vomit come up in my mouth. I also laughed at the same time so now I feel totally confused at myself.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:30 pmOk ewww, I just threw up in my mouth a bit as well.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:23 pmShould I be embarrassed that this didnt even make me wince?
I’m raising a flock of booger eaters and it just doesnt bother me anymore. Mostly i think because ive caught them eating EACH OTHERS boogers before..
May 10th, 2007 at 10:38 pmJust too funny.
My ds is a nose picker.
Once while in the car he announce “Boogie!! A BIG one”
Picture mum frantically looking for a tissue… til… “YUM!”
May 11th, 2007 at 1:12 amLMAO - oh I needed that. To hear it, not experience it - HAHA!
May 11th, 2007 at 1:17 amOh my word! That is hilarious. I loved the part about him taking care of his siblings. Just hilarious! LOL LOL LOL. We are in the “baby snot sucker” phase here since Avery is 11 weeks old. Her older brother likes to chew on the end. Since I’m too cheap to go buy a new one, she gets one that has teeth marks on it. Poor 4th child.
May 11th, 2007 at 7:40 pmThat is too funny. I can’t even think of anything witty to say in reply…all I can do is continue to chuckle. Thanks for sharing.
May 11th, 2007 at 10:10 pmOh My Goodness!!! You’ll have to “remind” him of this story every year at every holiday dinner. You know, so he won’t forget.
May 13th, 2007 at 8:33 amHe’s so funny!
May 14th, 2007 at 4:17 pmOh, eeeewwww, why are kids so gross? Mine will pick his nose, look at you, then stuff his finger into his mouth and laugh. And he’s 5. He can READ. How can you be so smart and so gross all at once?
May 14th, 2007 at 7:05 pmOMG!!! hahahahahahahahaha!!
