Sweetheart I think we need to find you some friends

Somedays I think I have this parenting gig down pat,then I get thrown a curve ball of massive proportions that brings me back to reality,and that reality is Lady you don't have two sweet clues as to what goes on in the mind of a two year old so don't even play!!!!This weeks curve ball was the introduction to my child's obsession with her mucous.Now upon seeing a rather large booger on the tip of her finger I being the super mom that I am dun da da dun,leaped into action to remove the dastardly goobie.Once I had done this and sat back down feeling rather proud of todays superhero act and thinking I was going to be bombarded with my reward of hugs and kisses soon realized that my daughter who was not giving expected hugs and kisses was actually quite aggrieved.Actually that is an understatment she bawled her eyes out for almost two hours which was when I soon figured out that while the basic population of planet earth find boogies offensive my child has formed a significant bond with hers.Needless to say there is going to be alot of tears in my household for the next little while till she moves on to a new object or body function (please God don't let it be another body function) and while I set out on my quest to rid my daughter of her mucous obsession remember no matter what she is so worth it.
