My "crazy" grandma exposed my mother to germs and ma did the same to me (I have put dirt in my mouth as a child), and we are the healthiest people on the planet (nowadays I am sure someone would send my grandma to jail for "endangering" her children). Going apes* over germs does not allow the child to develop an immune system. If someone takes your child's binky and puts it in their mouth before giving it to the child I agree, but pinching their chubby hand is not a reason to worry. I worry more about kids who are kept away from germs then those who have a cold. We all want what's best for our children but we must not go overboard, whether it's in keeping them germ free or creating children with over inflated egos, sadly many parents think more of this is better for the childAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220335169118275358.post-61089161994920447572010-02-13T21:55:22.341-05:002010-02-13T21:55:22.341-05:00We found these great signs - basically tell people not to touch!
