You Can Pick Your...

You've read the title and hopefully you can finish it.  I'll help:

You can pick your friends
and you can pick your nose
but you can't pick your friends nose

That's the end of it right?  Makes sense.  It's a simple statement and many of us may chuckle at the idea of picking our friends nose.  I proudly shared this little message with Andy today.  I was getting him ready for church, buttoning up his shirt I think.  Anyhow, he stuck his finger right up by my nose as if he were preparing to pick.  I recited the message and Andy was very clear on what I was saying.  He even laughed.  Then came a moment of great alarm.  Yes it left me a bit worried.  Andy went on to explain why you cannot pick your friends nose.  And we pick up at his little laugh at the first part of the saying:

(Andy chuckle)
Yes because it doesn't taste the same. 

I stopped, restated his comment and he was all kinds of serious.  I don't know if it means he has tried this or not.  As a father I certainly hope not but hey, maybe he has.  We'll call it gaining experience and I guess as good of reason as any not to pick your friends nose.
