no, it's snot

but then... as he thinks the camera is off... preparing for a half-nelson

actually, he's doing fabulous, considering... well, notwithstanding that one relative asked, non-rhetorically, "so, when did he turn into such a snot?" ...anywho.

ps... if anyone can google my answer... i would really appreciate it... who 'invented' the shoe tie? are there good alternatives? you know, the cross part 1, and then the bow part 2... maybe a double knot for active kids w/ too long of laces... but really, why is it always done the same way? since when? since where? i googled out... help!
