Put a little boogie in it.


Did you know …

That, if I’m being totally honest with you, I should probably say that I think I just put a booger in my hair. It’s true. It was an accident, and I don’t know where the booger is for certain, but I think it might be in my hair. What does this say about me? What does this say about us all?

We have to forgive ourselves for things like this. It’s part of what makes us human. Chimpanzees and bonobos, our closest genetic relatives, probably put boogers in their hair all the time and think nothing of it. Amoebae don't even have boogers. Only humans can put boogers in their hair, accidentally or on purpose, and then feel bad about it.

It’s beautiful, really.
