Saliva is nasty. I'm even so grossed out by the idea of kissing that I have to be
really into someone to do it...But I have to admit I've done the hair thing. Did it to a friend of mine who owns a bar, right in front of everyone. I just reached across the bar and fixed it for him.

Yes, Factor, I was brought up Jewish.
We weren't religious, though. In fact, I'm posting something about that today!

Isis, I actually carry those antibacterial wipes in my purse
and all over my office and I'm not a full time mom! I'm not even a germaphobe but I can't stand not having them around.

Ah I forgot you had some Jewish background...
I dated a Jewish guy for a long time and sort of kept some words that his family used... some of them just suit my humor...

I hear ya, katray, but dogs and cats don't have those
handy wipes available (or hands for that matter, LOL) Babies don't mean to barf all over us but damn, if that doesn't inflict the gag reflex in me I don't know what else does!! Yick. Baby barf. No fun for anyone involved.

LOL Spitfire!
I think it has something to do with being primates. It's a grooming thing, hehe.
Actually, I've never done that to my own kids (I think?). Ewww, gross! Huggies makes some great disposable wipes.

SuccessW, hmmm, I wonder why that is?
But ya rarely see dads doing that, anyway. I can't remember my dad ever doing that. He was a good nose warmer, though. (My nose was always cold and he could warm it with his hand.) Mom didn't do that very well. Of course, sometimes my dad would joke around and pretend he was gonna warm my nose in his armpit. Goofball.

guilty as charged. not with great frequency, mind you. but it has happened in moments of great desperation. your blog makes me think of Jaques from Nemo. Next time the urge comes over me, "I shall resist!"

Actually it's not the worst thing Spitfire
in my humble opinion. Some of this is just the raw side of motherhood, for all species. Think about the icky things dog and cat moms do to their offspring...
Cleaning up waste "products" by consuming them is the grossest I've seen.
For myself, being drenched in baby/ kiddie vomit is the absolute worst. YUCK!!

Actually, it has been proven that a mother's spit
has more cleaning power than that orange stuff they are sticking in all the cleaners now. I can't remember the name of the scientific journal where I read this but I'll look around.
As a side note, it was found that a father's spit was actually harmful to children and should never be used as a cleaning solvent.

That is rather heinous, and I always hated it as a kid.
On the other side of the spectrum, I had an aunt who was such a germophobe that she would hand out little fans to the kids on their birthday and make them fan out the candles on the cake, rather than blow them out. Actually, it makes sense, but at the time, it was pretty odd.

Okay, katray, but
if nothing else is readily available, I suppose that is necessary...as barfy as it sounds!

Lol, that is gross Spitfire
(But I've got a grosser one..
) My mom did that to me when I was little too and I hated it. I have however, swiped nasty goobers out of tiny noses with my bare fingers - if no paper was handy and if they were hanging, best to grab those suckers quick before they ended up somewhere else. (use your imagination
)
