JB- See now that's what I'm talking about! Why fight nature?! Adapt I say!! Baino... or on a wall. I once found a snot wall under my boss' desk... he obviously didn't expect me to be rooting around his PC tower! I could've blackmailed a raise out of him for that, but didn't think of it at the time, dammit. Jo; That does make odd sense! Like peeing in bathwater for the good of one's skin... how healthy we'd be if it wasn't for our sense of decency! Fat Sparrow- I knew a kid with a snot mohawk once... funniest damn thing I've ever seen. Nothing like re-cycled body effluence! Martin- Genius! Can also double-up as somewhere to keep one's school lunch... Holemaster - WHAT?!?! I'm pretty sure most animals won't even do that. Shared genetics or not, it's just WRONG. Jeez. What must they think of us? Jenny- That must be why they make school floor tiles pre-speckled!

Here in the land of the permanent T-shirt, children do not use their arms to wipe their noses on, they simply use their hands to push the snot up and onto their forehead and into their hair. At the end of the day you have a little tribe of were-pigs with hair straight out of "Something About Mary." Then, when they get a bit older, that evolves into hawking loogies. For the boys, that is. Well, some of the girls, too. Yes, I'm still traumatized by running into the girl's lacrosse team at the Fledgling Sparrow's Uni last night :::shudders::: Strange how cultures differ.

However picking one's nose is a very satisfying experience as long as you wipe it on a tissue and not under the coffee table. Eeuuwww. . .not the snail trails.

I've seen them do it somewhere between their elbow and their shoulder if their hands are too busy for them to wipe on their lower arms. Kids have a weird relationship to snot. One boy told my friend last week that he couldn't put his hand over his mouth when he sneezed because he'd get the germs back - apparently it's best to sneeze on the floor because the floor will be cleaned and the germs will be disposed of. Can't beat kid logic. Would buttons stop them? I’ve seen them do it somewhere between their elbow and their shoulder if their hands are too busy for them to wipe on their lower arms.
