An Evil Thing to Tell a Child

Posted on August 29, 2003 in Book of Days Childhood

Note: This is part of a series based on exercises from A Writer’s Book of Days. It’s something of a rebellion against the Friday Five and similar tupperware content memes.

Today’s topic: My mother once told me….

….that if I picked my nose, it would fall off and there would be a big hole.

What evil things did your mother/father/brother/sister/other relation tell you?
