    I might be reading into it, but I thought the joke was that parents can react childishly when you change your appearance in a way they don’t approve of. My mum keeps saying ‘ooops I thought there was snot hanging from your nose but it’s just you piercing’, for example.

        I never say it to my wife (I think people should utilize a filter between their thoughts and their lips, but my mom doesn’t have a filter either) but I often catch a glimpse of my wife’s glasses showing just a touch below her nose when looking from a particular angle, and I think she has snot starting to drip from her nose.

        Also I hate the modern American version of female beauty. But my wife doesn’t even wear makeup so I’m happy at home.

      They need to make a piercing that looks like a blob of snot for people to wear around their parents.
