After saying prayers with Ellie tonight, I left to get some vaseline since above and below her lips are chapped (from sucking on them). As I put on the vaseline, she was pursing her mouth in a ever-so-slightly odd way and I had that "mommy intuition." So I asked her, "Ellie, are you eating boogies?" And she opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and right there was the biggest hard boogie ever. Disgusting! And even more disgusting was that I groaned and picked it off her tongue to throw in the trash! Sigh. What we mothers do.
I should have ignored my intuition and let her eat her boogie.
