I was on the subway watching some very talented break dancers do their thing. One of them was doing flips and such. Then I noticed that the one flipping all over the place was touching the disgusting subway floor with his gloved hands. And I began to fear for his life. I thought about all the germs that he was currently interacting with.
When the two fantastic young breaking dancing lads were done with their performance I scrounged up some change and gave it to the gloved handed one. Then I said:
"Will you please wash your gloves when you get home?"
He laughed
"Yeah, I know. I will. I usually buy new ones."
"Don't take it personally," I said "I'm a Jewish mother."
I can't help it. I fear for his health. I mean, as my mother always said "When your resistance is down, you can catch a bug!"
I can only hope that he heeded my advice. If I had more time with him on the subway, I would have urged him to take vitamin C and echinacea to prevent further infection.
G-d help me, I'm crazy.
So, you wouldn't approve of me dropping T's pacifier on the floor and putting it back in her mouth without washing it? :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a psycho germ person and I am REALLY messy. When we dropped Ari's pacifier on the floor one of us would give it a quick rinse....or not. So the real answer is no! I wouldn't judge!
ReplyDeleteBut I draw the line at the nasty subway floor. That dude has some cojones.
Hahaha! This is so funny! I don't think your crazy for talking to him, I think its awesome!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I hope he washed them ;)
ReplyDeleteP.S. - If you want to take the advanced course, I'm sure Alana would be happy to give you lessons! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWord! Alana needs to show me the way! How can I justly offer soup to anyone without knowing what it's really like to have three kids?
ReplyDeleteGood point!
By the way, Jack you do look hungry? WOULD you like some soup?
