Don’t chuckle just yet; I have an important question to ask… *backspace backspace backspace* Okay, here goes—it’s a bit embarrassing, but does anyone know how to… *backspace backspace backspace* Admitting the reality of my situation felt daunting, especially on a public platform like Facebook. Was I really ready to share this with everyone? What would the other parents think? They’d probably say their kids “would never” resort to this kind of behavior.
But I was desperate for answers. So, fingers hovering over the keyboard, I typed out the dreaded inquiry: How do you get dried boogers off walls?
To my surprise, the comments flooded in almost immediately, and I braced myself for the usual “What the heck?” and “LOL!” remarks. Instead, I discovered that this topic struck a chord with many parents. One suggested, “Rehydrate them with a warm washcloth!” while another quipped, “My spouse just paints over them.” Someone else humorously added, “Following this for a friend.” It was comforting to know I wasn’t alone in a world where removing petrified boogers had become a common chore.
I never imagined my life would involve scrubbing bits of nasal waste off my walls, but here I am, thanks to my kids’ baffling inability to find a tissue. It doesn’t matter that I have boxes placed strategically around the house or that I’m practically keeping Kleenex in business. I even carry travel packs in my bag and stuff my coat pockets full (Yep, that’s the excuse for my hips looking larger).
The same kids who can sprint around the house while chatting seem incapable of seeking out a proper tissue for their nasal discharge. Instead, they choose to wipe their mess on the nearest wall, while I’m left seeking advice online. A travesty! I simply don’t have time for this.
Unfortunately, I doubt even an endless supply of time would solve this issue. If someone ever needs an indestructible building material or a natural adhesive, they should consider dried mucus—it could survive even an apocalypse. Those magical cleaning sponges vanish instantly as the boogers obliterate them like cheese against a grater.
These stubborn little nuggets resist all cleaning agents and tools. Trying to scrape them off is like asking for a disaster; a paint chip is practically guaranteed. I’m convinced that even a portable sander wouldn’t make a dent in the booger’s hold on the wall. They’re like icebergs—seemingly harmless, but we all know what happened to the Titanic.
The worst part? I’ve never actually caught the little offenders in the act. I can’t tell if it’s one child or a sneaky team effort. But when I do find the culprit, they will be walking around with tissues stuffed firmly into their nostrils until they learn the proper way to dispose of their nasal waste.
Flush it down! Find a leaf! Wipe it on your sleeve if necessary—at least the washing machine can handle that, and the clothing will look good as new. Or, here’s a thought: Use the tissues I’ve conveniently placed all over the house.
I may have bought those decorative boxes with fancy designs, but they sure aren’t just for looks.
