A Slimy Situation

The other day in reading circle one of my students was putting their hand behind their back. I thought I saw a small dark colored object and wondered what "toy" they had.

Me: Student, what's behind your back?

Student: Teacher, my hand.

Me: What's in your hand?

Student: *pulls out hand from behind back and sheepishly says* A booger


Me: *gag, gag, gag, gag*

It was the most disgusting booger I think I've ever seen in my entire life -- and I've seen a lot of 'em! In fact, the Pre-K teacher chased me down the hall with a real slimy one, on a tissue from one of her kids, last year!!! I won't even tell you the end of that story - but it was pretty gross!!

Thank you Lord that I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye - otherwise I probably would have found it with my hand when I went to stack the chairs later!
