LOVE,
MRS. SLOMAN
It was written in my 7 year old daughter's handwriting......

Again I asked and he silently shook his head, a little more forcefully this time. Worried that he was going to choke on a small button or something, I got a paper towel and told him to spit it into the paper. He did so without resistance, and when I looked for the object of the controversy, I saw a green boogie....

The infamous boogie-disappearing act, a classic among kids that age :) Next time, I'm sure you'll know better that trying to save the little bugger ;)
Ha ha Monica! You're so cruel...but funny...and right! LOL
For some kids, you'll find "boogies" on the food pyramid.
