You DID NOT just do that!!!

Today after church, The Husband and I took Little Man out for lunch at one of our usual spots. We sat in our booth, being entertained by the boy, waiting for our pager to go off when I decided to let him hold the pager. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?! Little Man raised the pager to his face and proceeded to lick it! (((((queasy feeling in the pit of the stomach))) I thought The Husband was going to flip out! He looked at me with his hand out....for something....and I said, "We can't squirt hand sanitizer in his mouth!" The Husband urged him to drink lots of water....like that was going to help! =D

So we just sat there with helpless expressions on our faces.....like we were waiting for Little Man to suddenly become violently ill, like he had been poisoned or something and there was nothing we could do about it. We're not huge germaphobes but to me that's just "you have lost your mind" kind of gross!

Think I'll Google "Oral Sanitizers for kids". Never know what the kid is going to stick in his mouth and we need to be prepared!

*** FYI - the only thing that comes up on Google is Toothbrushes and Toothbrush Sanitizers. Guess we'll just have to pack an extra toothbrush in his backpack from now on. (((shaking head)))

The Germ

A mighty creature is the germ,

Though smaller than the pachyderm.

His customary dwelling place

Is deep within the human race.

His childish pride he often pleases

By giving people strange diseases.

Do you, my poppet, feel infirm?

You probably contain a germ.
