Today, while babysitting, my mind wandered about.
Often times, I ponder upon the things kids do.
You know, because my life is mostly spent with children.
On this particular day, I began thinking about the appeal of eating boogers in children.
So being the curious person that I am (Steven and I literally had this conversation the other day about how I want to know why people do what they do or why things are the way they are), I googled the topic of booger picking.
Not only did I find this fabulous picture of Ralph, I came across this blog post:
Just one quote I found:
Dr. Friedrich Bischinger, a lung specialist working in Innsbruck [Austria]..."Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine."
This got me thinking.
So, we now have people who think their children will 'get' autism if they are vaccinated.
I wonder when these brilliant folks will start teaching their kids to eat their boogers so they don't get flippin POLIO?
I think I am on to something here....
Next time this is you:
Don't hesitate.
You will be doing yourself, and the world a great service in keeping small pox and typhoid fever from not coming back and plaguing our world.
Maybe I will advocate this in my classroom in future years?
