He beat me last year – I was just one flick away from winning and I almost cried. But I wasn’t ‘bout to do that in front of everybody. I just grit my teeth and looked mad.
But just you wait … I’m gonna win this year. I’ve been practicin everyday. My mom says I’m gonna run outta boogers, but not me, I never do. She says I have to flick outside though. (Shhhh … I sneak when I take a bath. Did you know boogers float?)
And I can’t stand the way Picker Davey walks around with his nose in the air like his nose is the Trophy. Like he’s king or something. It makes me so mad I don’t even look at him.
I want the real one … the real trophy.
It’s the biggest, shiniest gold nose trophy I ever seen! I heard they use a real horse’s tail for the nose hairs, and then, there’s this green glop they use that feels just like real boogers. And the best part is, they use your own real finger to make a fake finger to stick up the nose! It-is-so-cool! You can even take it out and switch nose holes! Yeah … I sooo can’t wait.
I’m going to be the best picker-flicker Picker Town has ever seen. I’m gonna be the winner and get that trophy!
Besides … girls are better than boys – at everything. Pretty soon he’s gonna be calling me Queen Daisy.
Queen Picker Daisy.
Yeah … I like that.
Girls are best at everything anyway.
My mom says so. And she can prove it.
She’s got four shiny gold nose trophies on the shelf and one’s still got green glop in it. (My little brother found them one day when mom took them down to shine them up real pretty so she’s only got one left with boogers in it.)
She has them all lined up under a light and each finger is bigger than the other one and mine’s gonna to be right next to hers.
Yeah … my-mom-is-sooo-cool.
Picker Davey’s not. (tehe)

My mom always tells the story of one year when my brothers & I went to Florida with my dad and she wanted to surprise us by painting our rooms while we were gone. So when she moved my bed away from the wall, there was a collage of boogers behind it. It took her a looooong time to chisel them off - so gross! Now that I think about it, maybe I'll write an article about that. There has to be a lesson in there somewhere.
Outrageously funny writing. Perfect entry for this week!
I think kids around 7-10 or so would really love this!
Okay. I'm still laughing. Considering I grew up with two brother who could possibly rival Picker Davey-lol. This was a hilarious and interesting read. My only note is the title doesn't quite fit all that great. Just my opinion though. Good job!
