Lets get real people! Why do kids pick their noses? I have tried many different things to get little Lane to stop. I tried threatening him with punishment, telling him that his finger will fall off and my personal favorite that he is eating his brain. But to no avail. I guess I'll have to see if he grows out of it. I would feel like a failure as a mother if he was still picking his nose at the age of 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
