Rant: boogers and gold?
Okay so there was one part of Rant that I really didn't get. How did the gold get in the walls whereever he put his boogers? Did Green Taylor Simms know he would put his boogers there so he put the gold in there years before? Is it some weird side affect of his "breeding?" I'm really lost on how all of that gold got into the walls of his bedroom, when he was still too young to even know about it yet.
Actually It was Chirp.
Stinging, as the thorn, is the splinter. From a seedling born...works itself under my skin.

He got the gold when he was young. Him and the other kids found it. I suppose he put it in the wall, and yeah, then he marked it with his nose gold. But I haven't read it in a while either. I need to get it soon and reread it.
Not cool Gooch! Don't fuck with Rant.
Yeah but when Rant was like a toddler was when he did the whole booger thing on his wall but then his mom was like "You disgusting little monster!" and covered it up with wallpaper. After all of this happened, Green Taylor Simms told him where to find the gold. At this point, a Fifth grader Rant would have to be skilled enough to tear down the wallpaper, put all of the coins in the wall and then re-plaster it, and put a million more boogers on it, and then return the wallpaper to the wall without anyone noticing. Surely there's a better explanation?
I thought that part was kind of irrelevant. I just finished the book like two days ago, and I didn't really grasp the whole concept. My perception was that the story sort of had a Donnie Darko vibe, I thought that Rant wanted to stop himself from being born, but the book took a different direction.
Man is the cruelest animal.
Why is this in Research?
This is why we can't have nice things.
I haven't read it for a few years but I remember thinking it was Rant marking where the gold was (which he was able to detect because of his heightened sense). Does that make sense or am I way off?
