Summary

This humorous quote emphasizes the importance of personal boundaries and choices in friendships. It conveys the message that while one has the freedom to choose their own friends and make decisions for themselves, there are limits to what one can control or interfere with in other people's lives. The quote cleverly utilizes the childlike act of nose-picking to reinforce the idea of respecting boundaries and accepting that each person has autonomy over their own choices and body.
