How I was injured by a booger

I didn't know that it was possible to sustain in injury by booger, someone else's booger no less. But it is possible.

Warning.....this story is not for the faint of heart. You may want to stop reading now if stories about other peoples boogers make you sick. Heck, I may need to stop reading now.

The other day I was making the girls bed while they were at school. I'm nice like that.

There I was, minding my own business, when I came across something questionable: a dried booger on a pillow case. Seeing how I am a candidate for Mother of the Year, I decided to scrape it off with my finger nail rather than just wash the pillow case.  I soon learned my lesson.

As I was scraping the disgusting little booger off of my husband's children's pillows case the hardened little booger became wedged in between my skin and nail. It was like a piece of metal had been shoved underneath my nail. I retracted in pain and quickly examined my injury. I could see the beginnings of blood oozing from my wound. I was in pain, I was angry, I was humiliated. I had just lost blood on account of a booger. That's a new all-time low in life. I don't get paid enough for what I do for these people but no one should have to work under these kinds of conditions, withstand this type of abuse. I need a new job. I quit.
