sushi and boogies

Went on a date tonight, out for sushi. While seated at the sushi bar, a lady sat beside me with her young child. I glanced over and noticed a little boy, maybe 3 years old, that looked like a little man. He had a very thin face, pointy nose, large light blue eyes and a mullet. This was not an on-purpose mullet, it was a hippy mullet, a "let's not cut your hair" mullet. The child reminded me of Doby the house elf from the Harry Potter movies/books. Cute in his own right, but I could not help feeling a little sorry for him. His mom seemed a tad odd, had the same hair-do, hippy-dippy, was eating with her child at a sushi restaurant, he did not eat one bite of the food ~ She gets props for exposing her kiddo to new foods but this was a somewhat fancier restaurant and something was not quite right. Then I glance over and see his finger way up his nose...I looked at my date (husband of course, but date sounds more fun) and made a face, then I glance back and he is eating the treasure he found up his nose. Mom was oblivious to this, I was amused and grossed out at the same time. I noticed throughout the next hour, many picks and eats....no scolding from mom and by this point she should have noticed this yucko behavior. I started to get irritated and I must have given off an irritated vibe because then I felt a defensive vibe come from mom....it was weird. Strange little boy, weird mom...boogies and sushi.
