"If we have to pay you 5 cents every time we pick our nose, does that mean we can buy nose picks?"

-Petey's response to my decree that every time I catch them picking their nose they have to pay me 5 cents. I'm not trying to strike up a business deal here! I just want them to stop picking their nose in public!! I thought by fining them, they'd learn to pick their noses more discretely, like in the bathroom or something. Nothing doing. They've pretty much decided that it's worth paying the money.

What can I do?

There's no doubt in my mind that they'd never make to the end of the week. And, to be honest, I don't mind if they do it in secret. My big complaint is public nose picking. Like when we're at church and all three of them have their fingers in their nose at the same time. It's just too much.
