I was sent this article – Too Clean? Fight Against Germs Fuels Allergy Increase – and it made me think of George Carlin. I know, strange, but he has a bit where he’s complaining about just this sort of thing. How people are so worried about germs these days that it’s obnoxious. Granted, I try to clean everything before Ian gets his hands on it, but I don’t believe I’m going overboard. After all, Ian is a boy and sooner or later I’m going to come across him eating a worm or dirt or something equally disgusting. He might as well become accustomed to germs now….he’s going to be getting into them whether I want him to or not.
