It's all in the marketing

On a recent, blustery day:

Big E [with contempt]: Little A, you still have hot chocolate all over your face.

Little A: I know! I LIIIIIKE it there. It makes all my boogers taste like chocolate! Geez!

It is a relief and comfort to me to know that he will no longer need to force himself to choke down plain flavored, dried-up, crusty wads of mucous. I've been concerned that he wouldn't be able to fortify his Super Powers by consuming enough of his own dried up drainage.

I wonder what other flavors he'll be interested in adding in the future? Gatorade Blue Ice? Cinnamon and sugar? Pizza? I foresee a whole Jelly Belly-esque line of flavored snot. We'll call them clever names like Banana Booger or Cinna-Snot. Mmmmm. Want some?

Run faster, grow bigger

Sweet little family driving down the road.....

Little A: Hey, do you know why I like to eat my boogers?
Me: No, why?
Little A: Because they make me be able to grow big and run faster.
Me: Ahhhh, I see. And why is that?
Little A: Because they're food [read "Like Duh Mom!"] and they're slimy. [Big grin here]
