Keep a dirty house!

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Shopping carts and restaurant tables don't concern me. Babies, however, are disgusting creatures who spit up on themselves and **** in their pants. The next time someone asks me to hold their baby, I'm going to demand some sort of prophylactic parka before touching it. Babies expose you to e coli and worms. I can live with germs, but I don't know how any of you live with babies.

The first thing that pops into my head while reading this is that one day you will probably care for an ailing loved one and be exposed to their crap and vomit.

Here's how people live with babies, and the elderly, and handicapped family members - because they love them enough to deal with a little bit of ickiness.

I know this is supposed to be half-joking, but it still makes me wonder if you'd come near my future child, or my horribly infected future household, or give future me a hug even though I'll be crawling in cooties.

Of course I'd come near your future child. Future children are amazingly sterile (and by that I mean they produce no sperm). We'd have a problem, though, if it was standing next to a current or past child (although they they also, up to a certain point for some and indefinitely for others also produce no sperm).

I wasn't even half joking, Jen. I was completely joking. Jesus. I hug my gramps, who has a crap bag. I change babies. I help scabby homeless people get down from the bus if they need assistance.

I also loved my little brother, but that didn't stop me from encouraging him to eat jelly beans out of the gutter. And, for the record, he was rarely sick as a child.

On the other hand, most canine diseases do not jump the species barrier. I could catch pretty much anything a baby has (though, seriously, I'm not in the least a germophobe; I assume I'll die of something so if licking a public restroom floor looked like fun I'd give it a go; fortunately for my immune system it doesn't look like much fun).

My only problem with germ prevention efforts is how irrationally inconsistent many people are about them. And how little understanding they have of the true risks so that they can make informed decisions (a lot of people seem to assume that germs can instantly transport themselves to anything within line of sight).

I have cats. They use a litter box. Barely. They like to use it, and then they like to kick dirty litter all over the bathroom floor, the hallway, my living room. They then like to jump on my kitchen counters, which I DO thoroughly clean before using. So, poopy paws all over my house. But at least they pretend at being "toilet" trained.
