$5 bet

February 2nd, 2009

On the drive home from church on Sunday, Adam caught KP eating his boogers.

Every time he catches one of the kids eating their boogers he tells them that they’ll get worms. Which always makes me bristle…I mean REALLY, eating boogers gives you worms???  Come on!

So I called him out, in the car, in front of the kids.  Since I was going that far, I though I would try to divide the family.  You know, see who is on my side of the booger/worm question. So I put the bet out there, $5 dollars to dad if he is right.

And so it started.

Who wants in with mom?  Who thinks mom is right?  Boogers don’t give you worms.  SILENCE.

Who thinks dad is right?  Who thinks eating your boogers give you worms?  All hands go up, chanting starts, DAD…DAD…DAD.

So when we got home, we Googled it.

Who do you think won the bet?

Please post your comment before you look at the answer.

    I say (and tell KP I said it) eating boogers is horrible with or without the worms. I have a recovering booger eater in my family. AND I have a middle school student who could use an intervention.

    I vote for there being no worm/booger-eating connection.

    Just the mere fact that you posted this I am going to side with Adam and say yes to boogers and worms.

    I’m going to use this one from now on too!
