I have a SIL who is a nurse. She says you can never have too much of these sanitizing lotions. Washing hands frequently or pumping these sanitizers does wonders!

WG, As we get older, we’re more immune to many of the colds that plagues kids. That might explain why teachers and staffs at school not getting sick? I’m guessing here. I do remember being warned when my kids were younger by daycare staff that many kids are not immune to many of the virus that causes all kinds of colds, yet.

Interestingly, I talked with friends and staffs from the Elementary school, they told me that they have gotten neither sick nor flu for long time. That’s because they have worked with the students for over the years. Most of the staffs and teachers have never gotten the flu shots.

I find it interesting because many elementary students have touched and lived with the germs, even with the nose-picking all over the school! Many staffs and teachers evidently did not get it!

Well, it was the year end program for preschool one through 8th grade, in a large auditorium, so I wouldn’t call it a small audience. However, everyone else was laughing so much that I doubt they were too bothered by my laughter.

Ugh, I hate nose picking in public! That is what tissues are for dammit! I hate shaking peoples hands because you have to wonder just where they have been.

*shudders*

Going to go lather on the purel!

KL– I hope it was a small audience so those around you knew why you were laughing hysterically. A lot of parents take their childrens’ stage performances seriously, and it’s embarrassing to go into *laffin* hysterics at such times. I’m sure I would have lost it if my kid did that.

Abbie– I work with a nose picker. It’s awful. I have purel by my desk and wash my hands constantly at work because I do not know what this person has touched. Between handling dirty grungy books patrons have puked on (not kidding!), and the usual germs in the office, I’m convinced the frequent hand-washing helps because I get sick far less often than anyone else. Though I wonder if the others think I suffer from OCD.

I don’t think I could have sat any lower in the seat without being on the floor. Between hysterical laughter and simply trying to hide I could hardly watch the program.

K.L….you kill me! That is hysterical! I am constantly surrounded by mini nose-pickers because I teach pre-schoolers. So disgusting! I always ask them where they intend to put it or flick it when they’ve finished…bleh, Jodi

What a riot…love the innocence of pre-schoolers. They’re definitely not judgemental…and agree that ya gotta write about those church goers who judge!

You brought back a flood of far too many embarrassing memories of me deaf guy talking way too loud and being busted by embarrassed son or wife.
Great post, I laughed my tail off.
Kudos

Oh yeah, we have it on tape. So does every other family in that auditorium. There has to be one little girl that shows off her undies. Why did it have to be mine?
