Necessity is the mother of invention...

Dear Daughter:

Everyone loves the spirit of an inventor! This great country was founded by people unafraid to think outside of the box and boldly challenge the limits of science and nature. And, while I appreciate your creativity, quick thinking, and can-do-attitude, I have to insist that you stop using your hair as a cover while you pick your nose in public. Although you may not be able to see anyone through your hair-shield, I assure you, we can all see you. This includes the checker at the grocery store, the dentist, and the priest.

Love,

your mother
