Our 3 year old madam has a lovely habit of picking her nose while she's lying in bed at night and wiping the boogers....not on a tissue, not even on her clothes....on the headboard of her pretty white bed! I had a little chat to her about this and for a while left a box of tissues on the table beside her bed. The habit stopped and because I kept finding shredded tissues in her bed I moved the tissues. BUT I have recently discovered that the nose picking hasn't actually stopped and that the boogers are now being wiped on the wall - just as well we haven't found the time to paint her room yet! I spoke to her about it again and this is how the conversation went:
"But Mom, it wasn't me"
"It wasn't you? Then who was it?"
"It was the booger fairy, of course!"
The booger fairy? Ok! Well that's a new one to me! And where does this sweet little fairy get all of the boogers from? From her dress (I overheard her telling this to her Pops)! She has a dress made of boogers? Lovely!
How lucky she is to have all of those poor little fairies around to take the fall for her.
UNTRAVELLED SOLES
