I think I was like 4 or 5 when I first discovered the art of nose picking.

In case you needed to know:

What is a booger made of?

Main Entry: boog·er
Pronunciation: /BOO - grr/
Function: noun
Etymology: alteration of English dialect buggard, boggart, from 1bug + -ard Date: 1866
1 : BOGEYMAN
2 : a piece of dried nasal mucus

Boogers are mucus (myoo-kuss). Mucus is the thin, slippery material that is found inside your nose. Many people call mucus snot. Your nose makes nearly a cupful of snot every day. Snot is produced by the mucous membranes in the nose, which it moistens and protects.

When you inhale air through your nose, it contains lots of tiny particles, like dust, dirt, germs, and pollen. If these particles made it all the way to the lungs, the lungs could get damaged and it would be difficult to breathe. Snot works by trapping the particles and keeping them in the nose.

After these particles get stuck inside the nose, the mucus surrounds them along with some of the tiny hairs inside the nose called cilia. The mucus dries around the particles. When the particles and dried-out mucus clump together, you're left with a booger!

Boogers can be squishy and slimy or tough and crumbly. In fact, boogers are a sign that your nose is working properly.

It is said that you can pick your nose, your friend can pick his nose, but you can't pick your friends nose.
Being the rebel that I am, I proved this saying wrong...I picked my friends nose and came out with a large, wet, green slimer. We both screamed and then I washed my hands. It was better than a rollercoaster.

You should recycle them, or at least collect a jar of boogers!

It would be an interesting thing to show a girl if she comes to your room one day!
