What are germs??

(Will, ASIJ, Tokyo Japan, 2004)

I went to Sprouts today.
As I was checking out, the checker girl says,

"Your son is licking that."

"And lots of people touch that."

I look down and Tyler has his mouth on the side of the checkout thingy, by that pull out thingy that people in wheelchairs can use to write checks.
Does anyone write checks anymore?

Anyway, what was I supposed to do?

I did what any mom would do.

"Ma'am if I had a dollar for every time my kid licked something he shouldn't, I would be a millionaire. What doesn't kill him will make him stronger."

Have a nice day.
