Part 6 - You hammered it into my head

Kids sometimes develop disgusting habits without really thinking about it and I was no different. At about 5 or so I was a really diligent snot miner spending quality time with my finger up my nose much to my father's chagrin. My dad was brought up in a strict German household and wielded the sword of Etiquette like King Arthur. He even went so far as to buy me the Emily Post Etiquette book when I was older. It was a great dust catcher. There were certain things you do not do in public (snot farming and farting were the top two) and my father (at least for the first twelve years of my life) was out to make sure that my brother and I did not do any of them.

"Think back, Think back Keith to that time in the Sears Roebuck when you learned your greatest lesson". Cut to the kid's underwear aisle where I am happily digging for gold in my bat cave. The next thing you know my dad is standing over me glowering and his hand swings down and wacks the offending appendage away from my nasal passage causing me to yelp and a trickle of blood to drip from said passage. By this time, my mother came over to see what the ruckus was and I looked up at my dad with tearful eyes and howled "you hammered it into my head!" for the entire store to hear. My mom stifled a smirk and I think that was the last time my dad did that at least in public. Needless to say, I kept my snot bat patrols private from then on.
