​All the child would eat was bananas and rice, sometimes separately, sometimes mushed together - it was nauseating.  But it was worse when he picked his nose and flung the contents on the dining room wall.
​

His dog would lick the boogers off the wall then lick the boy’s face.  The boy would then secretly wipe it on his sister’s face when he hugged her.  When the sister hugged their mom, the boogers went on the mom’s face.  When dad got home from work, mom hugged him and the whole family now shared the boogers.  

After a month had passed, 300 people now shared the boogers.  It was growing 100 people a day.  In a year, everyone in the world would share the boogers and that’s exactly what had happened.  

​One day some people got sick and died and people decided “I don’t want to live like that” so they all went to the doctor.  The doctors said they were working on a cure, but then the doctors were starting to get infected.  They made an antidote but only for two people, so they killed everyone else until there were the two doctors left.  They had the antidote so they used it, and then they rebuilt the world.​
