I don’t touch other people’s kids without asking their parents or the kid themselves first.
First of all, kids are gross. I know kids touch everything and anything.
Aside from being a mom, I’ve been a babysitter, a camp counsellor, a tutor, a piano teacher and a tennis coach for elementary school kids. Their grubby, sticky little hands have been in their nose, their ears, their mouths, handrails, toilets…anything and everything.
I remember this one time I was walking downtown and noticed a little boy was walking ahead with his older sister.
