Cleanliness, Godliness and such

*NB: This post is rated PG -- pretty gross*

The other day I was sitting on the couch reading a story to the kids. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see my son's finger was busy in his nose. Here's the conversation.

"Mark, please quit picking."
"I'm not picking, I'm cleaning."
"Picking, cleaning, same thing. Please stop."
"I'm not picking."
"Yes, you are."
"Well, there's dirt in my nose and I don't want it to be dirty, so I'm cleaning it."

Ah, logic. Hard to argue with it.
