Mr. E
You seem like a smart guy.
What are boogers made of
and what are they for?

OK Tyler
We have boogers so we can
ball them up and flick them
at our sisters.
Seriously
Boogers are made out of mucus.
Mucus is a gross sounding word.
Boogers trap things
from the air
so they don't go into
our lungs.
So boogers are finally made of
mucus and dirt and pollen
and stuff like that.
Are you happy now?
I was just about to make lunch.
Don't flick boogers at your sister.
Mr. E
