This is the Mojo in the morning podcast, powered by Michigan Auto Law, auto accident attorneys. Visit autolaw.com. That's autolaw.com. It is Mojo in the morning show. There is something that Kev says that parents do for their kids that he refuses to do for his. Yeah. This didn't just start, like when I had Jared, he didn't even start when I had Josiah. But when I was a child, I vividly remember, I think I was playing soccer at the lie in Dearborn and I saw his parent picking boogers out of their kids nose. Now the kid needed his boogers pick because it was like the crush. It was just disgusting. But ever since that moment, I was like, I'm never doing any of that for my child when I have children. Like that is the most, to put your finger into a child's nose. It was just disgusting and that image has been locked in my brain. So Journey, who is about eight or nine months right now, somewhere in between there, is teething. She's been teething for a few weeks now. And when she first started to teet, she was just irritable. She was irritated. She couldn't sleep. She was in pain, obviously. So she's red. Her head is hurting. She's crying and her nose is running. Now she's pictured it. She's sitting on Sherel's lap. I'm laying on a couch. I'm to the left. I can look over to the right. We're all watching TV. She sit on Sherel's lap like Santa, but she's facing in my direction. And when a child starts to cough, you kind of like, you're aware. But then when they start to like really cough, you're obviously looking over there because like you're concerned with what's going on. Sherel starts to lean in a bit closer to Journey. And when Journey does like this last really the biggest glob of mucus comes out of her mouth. Sherel, without hesitation, catches it in her hand. Yeah. And she's holding it in her hand. She's not looking to like wipe it off. Her facial expression doesn't change. She's like a robot. There is no way in hell. I would be able to do that. She's not a robot. She's a mom. It's being a mom. You can at least acknowledge the fact that what you just did is disgusting. Kevin, you have not done. You have not done. You have not done the lick your fingers and wipe off your kid's mouth game at all with a... I've done it with Josiah. He has something on his cheek. Yeah. That's completely different. That's more disgusting for the child. You have not had a child that has had explosive diarrhea and you've had to clean up explosive diarrhea off of a changing table? No. You've not. I mean, Journey. Journey has pooped places. That is completely coughing up a pile of mucus and catching it in your hand was standing coming through your fingers. But if you're the parent that goes ew, you know what I mean? I am like ew! Let me tell you, I love picking bookers. I love cleaning ears. I love clipping toenails. I have caught barf in my shirt, turning it into like a little bowl kind of thing, whatever. That's called being a mom, right, Shannon? Whatever. I will clip some toes. But I like literally... I'm so weird. I love cleaning ears and picking bookers. Oh my gosh. I love it. Something's wrong with me. I'm shocked by this, Kevin. I know how much you love your children and I know like Josiah is like your everything. You do, you know, you do everything for that kid. You have not had to like pick a booger out of your nose. I've never picked his nose. Wait until she... Did you ever wipe butts? Do you ever wipe Josiah's butt and that doesn't gross you out? You change diapers at all? Yes. That's different though. The baby has to booboo and the baby can't change her own diaper. So of course I do that. That's a must. Yeah. The catching mucus in your hand or taking your finger like Shannon said, loves to do and dig in a person's nose. I'll get in a few. Thank you. Thank you. Oh my God. Caitlin, what's going on? How happy. Hi. Hi, what's happening? So I'm a nanny and I have been for over here. This little baby girl is a year old now and this past year I've caught. Puke in my hand, I picked out boogers, I've been sneezed on and it's not even my kid. See that, Kevin? This is somebody that cares for children for a living and they're not even her biological. So she's actually... What is going on? Do you charge more when they puke in your hands? Oh my God. I don't. I wish I did but I don't. But do you tell the parents knowing that they better get you a nice Christmas gift? Right. Yeah. And they have my family showing up for them. They're the best. Yeah. I want to say this that when you start doing things like that for them, they better take care of you. They better make sure that they're... Yeah, they do. I cannot have asked for a better family. Thanks for the call. Jane. What's happening? Hello. Hi, Jane. Hi. I was calling because my son was a baby. He projects how I'm sitting in my mouth. What? And you didn't punch him in the face afterwards, right? Well, no. Yeah. Exactly. See, Kevin probably... But like, you couldn't move out the way. I was holding him. I was lifting him up. Like Simba. No, I couldn't drop him. Right in your face. Unbrillied rain. There you go. Yeah. You know why? Could you love your child, right? You love your child. You do stuff like that. Exactly. Jordan, what's going on? Cab says there are certain things as a parent that he will not do. Yeah. So I know that there's those, you know, baby freed up boogie suckers. But sometimes they don't work well and I straight up put my mouth over my son's nose and suck. Oh my god! Damn! Damn! I love the nose for you. I'm not doing CPR on Smith's nose, just really. You have sucked it right out of the nose. That is amazing. Way bro. They got those things where it's like, it's very small at the tip. That part is where you're supposed to stick it in. Then you like squeeze the thing and it's supposed to light. Well, they have that, but then, you know, that's the farthest I'm going. Jordan. I'm not sucking burgers! I mean, what is that? There's a thing that makes it stop. Oh, it is? There's a spongy in there. Oh, okay. It doesn't get to your mouth. Oh, I didn't know that. It catches it and then you wash it out. Jordan, after you did that, did you kiss your baby daddy or what did you do? Oh, yeah, definitely. I was like, come here, let's baby bird it. Oh, I love it. Rachel A, what's going on? It's Mojo in the morning. Hi, eh. Good morning. How are you? How are you? Good morning. You're gross. I'm proud of you. I'm a mom of twins and I have my daughter has cute and it's gotten in my mouth. I've had explosive diarrhea with diapers and had to catch shit coming out of the back with my hands, sneezes right through the hand and that's the worst thing. And by the way, that was just Monday. Thank you for the call. Take care of yourself.
