So, the other day I am riding in the car with my husband and two children when Austin, almost 3, says to me, "Mommy, I have a booger," and reaches forward to "hand" it to me. I took it from him and as I was finding a tissue in which to deposit the said booger I commented, "Oh! What a special treat..." Austin replied, quite seriously, "It is not a special treat, Mommy. It is a booger."
**Updated note** It has occured to me that some of you may be concerned with the casualness with which I addressed the fact that my son was, in fact, handing me boogers - I mean, shouldn't I have at least been disgusted or mentioned something about the foul nature of that event? On the contrary, I am resigned to the fact that most children do pick their boogers, so I am actually extraordinarily pleased that he is choosing not to eat them.

I'm obviously a mother of small children, because it didn't even cross my mind to be grossed-out about the handing of the booger.
I love how he corrected you - so funny!
