Your eating what?

When I went in to pick up Mini Red from her religion class today I bumped into my cousin. He and his daughter (my Goddaughter), who just turned 4, were waiting for his son to come out of class. I saw she had a piece of candy and I got down to her level and we had the funniest little conversation:

Red: Hey whatcha doing?
GD: I’m eating my boogers.
Red: Excuse me?
GD: I’m eating my boogers.
Red: Oh… well… that’s gross.
You could see she wanted a reaction from me but not sure what she was expecting. I couldn’t help but just laugh.

  2. And was she drinking red or white with them? I have always wondered which is the appropriate wine. I know from Silence of the Lambs that chianti is the right wine to have with human flesh, but I am afraid Hannibal Lecter doesn't eat boogers so no guidance there. A girl in my fourth grade class used to put them on her apples so maybe they are just condiments.

  3. I had to give that a double take, I mean, I thought she'd turned all cannibalistic and was eating her bloggers.

    The cold winter nights just fly by...

  4. Boogers aren't human flesh, so no, it doesn't qualify as cannibalism. They're basically a combination of dried mucus and dust particulates. Now some may argue that eating mucus, since it's an excretion of the human body, qualifies the act as cannibalism. Well, if that's the case, does breastfeeding turn babies into cannibals? No, of course not.

    Hmmm.... I'm getting kinda hungry.
