Things I never thought I'd do. Part twelve.


Today at work I had a twenty minute discussion about where boogers do NOT go. Then my class spent ten minutes looking for boogers on the gym floor.



What did YOU do at work today?

  9. Kids are disgusting little creatures. I know, I have five of them. I almost can't go in the bathroom anymore. My stomach is getting weak as I get old.

  15. i wonder how many got eaten during the search?

    ReplyDelete
  16. LOL! And I thought getting my kids to be fascinated and sit for an eternity watching ants was bad. I think this tops it for sure. Hopefully they learned something.

  17. Nothing anywhere NEARLY as appealing, trust me.

  24. A coworker was trying to convince me to STOP using hand sanitizer because it kills the good bacteria as well as the bad bacteria... I assured her that my children consume and ENORMOUS amount of boogers every day during carpet time. I am not worried about them getting their quota of bacteria, good or bad.

  25. No work today. Except looking for work. I did find a few boogers though. Tis the season after all.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I've explained to my kids repeatedly that we do not rub boogers on the walls or on the furniture. Is that weird? I thought it was one of Piaget's stages.

  28. Sadly, at 37, I have a nasty booger habit. I'm not hardcore, just a recreational junkie...

    ...maybe I should've been in class today.

    (PS. I accidentally left my comment under my wife's account - she has a habit too, but it didn't seem right to call her out like that.) =-)

  29. I sat in a student union and watched college kids pick boogers when they thought no one else was watching. Isn't it lovely how old habits die hard.

  30. I've watched my students pick their noses in the middle of class...and they're in middle school!

  31. EW! This is a reminder as to why I don't miss my job!

  32. Well, not that! But, I did pull a piece of dried gum out of a computer. argh!

  37. I spent all afternoon writing a post about chat rooms. Helped passed the time because I had no work to do.

  38. I was busy hiding boogers on the gym floor. Why do you ask?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I cannot believe that you've been flicking your boogers on the gym floor.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I did the Hokey Pokey and had to sing for Story Time at the library. Very scary, not my usual gig. But I have to say it beats boogers...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Nothing nearly as interesting as you, my dear.....EVER!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I just discovered a secret stash that must be three years old on the wall next to the bed. Petrified boogers do not release that easily from the wall.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Nothing as exciting as you, my friend. I have had to scrape them off the wall behind the beds when we moved out of a house...why is it they don't quite understand that there is tissue for a reason...LOVE the kiddies!

  44. I heard thru the grape vine that you still need a roomie for BlissDom. Me, too! Do you have a room reserved? I'd love to help cut the costs if you do.

    Let me know!

    ReplyDelete
  45. What?

    I though everybody wiped their boogers on the gym floor.
    They don't?

    ReplyDelete
  46. damn... that's what we should have discussed in class today...

    That would have been more entertaining than the vapid shiznit I had prepared...

    ~shoes~

  51. I watched second graders make snowmen out of torn paper and have a discussion about why girls are unique. Apparently, girls are unique because their lips are "fresher", which makes them nicer for kissing...

  52. Pffft! I'm a nanny. I did the same damn thing. Only it was in my car, not in a gym.

    When I was a kid I wanted to be like Mary Poppins. Mary was so glamourous with all the booger, poop, and farting scenes cut out of the movie.
