I know this might sound odd, but I have a pressing question that I need to ask. It’s a bit embarrassing, but here goes… How do you get dried boogers off walls?
As I typed that out, I braced myself for the inevitable wave of judgment from fellow parents on social media. I could already hear the snickers and the “my kids would never” comments flooding in. But let’s be real: if you’re a parent, you know that this is a relatable struggle. The moment I hit send, responses started pouring in. “Soak ’em with a warm washcloth!” one friend suggested. “My husband just paints over them,” another admitted. And someone else chimed in, “Following this for a friend.” I felt a wave of relief wash over me—thank goodness I’m not alone in this booger battle.
I never envisioned a life where I’d be scrubbing remnants of nasal waste off my walls, but here we are. My kids, who can run around with boundless energy, somehow lack the motivation to locate a tissue—even with boxes strategically placed around the house. We’re practically funding the Kleenex empire with our tissue consumption, yet my children still choose the wall as their preferred snot disposal method. Seriously?
Let’s talk about the durability of dried mucus. I’m convinced it could serve as the glue for an indestructible building material. Cleaners and scrubbing sponges are no match for these stubborn booger remnants. Attempting to scrape them off just risks damaging the paint. I could probably use a power sander, and yet, the boogers would still cling on with their sticky, tenacious grip. They’re like those hidden icebergs—you know something’s not right just beneath the surface.
And here’s the kicker: I’ve yet to catch the little “nose miners” in the act. Is it one child? A team effort? I’m determined to find out. When I do, I’m going to make sure they understand where tissues belong—stuffed right into those little nostrils until they grasp the concept.
Flush them down, wipe them on a sleeve, or find a leaf—anything but leaving those sneaky snot streaks on my walls! Tissues are conveniently placed everywhere for a reason, and it’s not just for decoration.
