Bubble bath nose picking? Local toddler’s life choice stirs up controversy

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (FTN) – Smart or disgusting?

That’s the question some Terre Haute parents are asking after a photo emerges of their two-year-old picking his nose in the bathtub.

The photo made it’s way online Monday afternoon after a post on social media.

The photo shows two-year-old Alexander Essex in the bathtub, with bubbles on him, and his finger in his nose.

While some call it disgusting…others say it is pretty smart actually.

“We all do it,” Alex’s uncle, David Essex said. “This way, he is doing it and staying clean about it. Pretty smart.”

Alex’s mom, Ami, took the photo. She says the nose picking grosses her out.

“It’s disgusting. I know kids pick…but don’t do it in front of me. Toddlers are gross,” Ami said.

This leaked photo comes in a long line of photos leaked on social media that show Alex doing embarrassing things.

The source of the leak is unclear at this time.
