    As a germaphobe, I'm feeling a secret pleasure in this sanitizing craze.

    My wife's family, a typical American one, always walks in to the house with their shoes when our son was crawling on the floor.
    So many times I caught my mother in law feeding my son with her hands after coming from shopping at a market.

    Worst of all they always looked at me like I'm some sort of a clean freak just because I told them to wash their hands or take their shoes off when they come from outside before touching my son.

    I hope they know learned that what I was asking them was not some crazy protective measure but it was a simple thing that separates humans from living like animals.

    • I have to agree with taking shoes off inside the house. I don't know what you've fucking trod in or on, on the way here.Continuity
    • My dad always wore shoes in the house. and somehow I seem to have a decent immune system. But I now see it as gross...shapesalad
