Stace

Answer 1

salty

Answer 2

Didn't you ever eat a booger and remember?  lol...Maybe they're tasty?  I'm not curious enough to know LOL

Answer 3

No idea.  It's on their finger so they try it.  I guess if they didn't gag, they'll keep doing it.  Not to suggest you should try to humiliate your child but try saying something in public.

Answer 4

simple because they taste exactly like they look- DELICOUS!!  No just joking... I don't know its weird though. You don't see grown up walking around eating boogers...hahah it would be funny if they did!

Answer 5

When I was wee, my best friend always ate hers. She said they were yummy. So I tried one -- and begged to differ. But I've never been one for salty snacks.

Answer 6

there trying to impress you. there's not much else they can do.

Answer 7
