a bit of wisdom for the ages

[mamajoan]

You know how they say "you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends' noses?" That is so true. However, you'll note that this little adage is curiously silent on the topic of picking your children's noses.

Let me say this, to all you parents-to-be and prospective parents out there: You can, and (like it or not, expect it or not, plan it or not) you will.

'Nuff said.

Are you using one of the Snot Guns of Doom^TM? Ones of various sizes are littered all over borgmama's house....

No, I just can't get the hang of those things and they're more trouble than it's worth most of the time. I just use a kleenex or my fingers depending on the situation.

Heck, I learned this when I started *babysitting*. *g*

Hee, hee...

Though my best friend and I managed to bust that one too... something about an intended nose-tweak or intended finger-chomp gone wrong...
