Dear Lady...

...Who-Sat-In-Front-Of-Me-At-Gymnastics-Today,

I understand your desire for cleanliness. The gym isn't known for being squeaky clean. But, I had to snicker to myself today. I witnessed your 25 minute battle with your 2-year-old about the need to use hand sanitizer BEFORE being allowed her snack (even though said toddler already 'washed hands' with a baby wipe). I myself, am a fan of water-free hand wash. It is a lovely invention. And the fact that you fought that battle, rather loudly, in public wasn't even what made me cringe. No....laughter came when your child, thoroughly defeated and cleansed, got her snack. Potato chips and fruit snacks? For a woman so intensely concerned about bacteria getting ON the snack, I found it odd that you cared little about the nutrition found IN the snack.

But maybe that's just me?

See you next week! ;)

Don't ever sit by me....my kids don't wash hands AND eat junk! And they just might litter afterwards... :)

Sorry if that comment was a little snarky...of course I am teasing! I love the irony!

I love observing people. If only they knew how ridiculous they were.

Oh the joys that come from sitting in that gym hour after hour after hour.
I am not a germ-a-phobe at all, and people that are make me feel so paranoid all the time. That is really funny about the snack though. Pretty ironic.
