COMPULSIVE PICKER

I have this student, J. He's a good kid. He does well in class and all that, but he is a nose picker. With gusto. What impresses me the most is how unabashed he is about his vice. Just yesterday I was prancing around the podium, lecturing passionately about first degree linear equations - as I am wont to do - and when I looked up all I could see was J trying to touch his brain. And he just stared right back at me, mid pick! He didn't pull his finger out and pretend like we didn't just share that moment. He just kept up poking himself in the head!

You gotta give him credit for that, I suppose.
