Mom, Re: Baby, "He's got something in his nose."

Tweet

Mom calls Dad into the room. Dad, shambling in, hears mom declare, "He's got something in his nose." Daddy, who is nearsighted, removes his spectacles and peers closely at his child. Lo and behold, his little scion has something in his left nostril. He examines this closely and concludes, "Honey, it's just a boogie." With a little finesse, Daddy deftly removes the small bit of greenish semi-solid material and has an ant-sized boogie on the end of his finger. At which point, Mom starts cringing and backing away as if the she were about to vomit. With a few moments to observe this odd display, Daddy tries to quietly explain that it is no big deal. After all, the boogie was just in the nose of the kid she is cuddling and far more vile and unnatural things are produced by posterior of said prodigy. All to no avail. Thusly, we may conclude, that boogers are to Mommy as crosses are to Vampires.. or something to that effect. .... Ever find yourself humorously entertained by the over-reactions of other people? To mice or bats, for example. To spiders or snakes, perhaps? Not picking on people or making fun of them. Not to abuse people with obsessive compulsive disorder or paranoia. But still, relatively normal people with unpredictable aversions?
