Remember when it was sin to be that kid in class that would sit there in their own little world digging for gold? That kid who was always fist deep in their attempt to yank the perfect nugget?
You’re not eating are you? Oops, sorry about that.
Just so you know, I’m eating too. A cinnamon raisin bagel. Yum. The raisin do not at all remind me of boogers.
*snicker*
Annnny waaaaaays (say it like Ellen in her closing credits).
(If you don’t watch Ellen, that was totally wasted on you so let’s move on shall we.)
Boogers. Digging in class.
Remember how they would get in so much trouble for picking and would be called out in front of everyone?
No. I it was not me. I was the thumb sucker.
Where am I going with all this? Well, we try and train our children not to pick their noses, but then there are things like this soap and then picking boogers is encouraged. No wonder the kids are so confused.
From the listing:
Ok all you mothers of little boys…this soap is for you! It’s BOOGER soap!
Perfectly gross and boggery (sic) looking this soap is approximatly (sic) 3.5 oz of soap split up into about 20 single use soaps. So instead of that perfectly good bar of soap melting away because you know who left it sitting in the tub, you can just give it to them a little at a time and not sweat it!
Plus you get to say fun things like “Pick your booger and take a bath!!!”
My problem with this – aside from smearing boogers all over your child’s body – is the size. 3.5oz of soap broken up into small chunks. They’d be, like the size of peas!? How clean could you get with one tiny little booger.
Bigger kids would need a gargantuan sized booger. Then that would lead to booger envy, then they’d have to have the biggest booger all the time.
Bigger booger FTW!!

But wouldn’t kids try to… Eat the booger soap or something? That would be a fun trip to the doctor… “my kid ate the soap because he thought it was boogers!” Urg.

That “crafter” has problems. I try to keep them from picking boogers, why confuse the message. It’s like saying “I’m Bristol Palin and I’m an advocate for abstinence.” What the fuck can you make of that?

They could melt about 10 boogers and make one huge booger, like the ones that you sometimes get when you’re sick…the neverending ones…and that should wash a semi-large child. No?

Seriously, I am not even understanding how you would use this thing.
Rubbing it on your body would just make it fall into the tub and then you have to dig around for a small slimy lump… The memories… ahh.
