Get Out Of Work Free Card


We have, with very little effort, accomplished the impossible... interstate infection. In record time too! My boys managed to infect my Mom with the same stomach virus that plagued us for the past two weeks when she came to visit last weekend. Apparently, John and I are running a state-of-the-art germ factory over here. The kids spend their days licking everything within
reach and I spend my time ordering Lysol by the truckload! These are the days that I wish that I didn't know quite so much about microbiology! Truthfully though, our house would be a perfect place to conduct some really cutting edge microbiology experiments without all of the human subject red tape!
Example Questions:
1. If Child A has a cold how many minutes of brushing with Child B's toothbrush is sufficient to infect said child?
2. If Child B gives their toothbrush to Child C, how long will it be before Child A uses said
toothbrush to flush the toilet?
3. What happens if you swallow the little suction cup at the bottom of a toothbrush?
4. If Child A has a horn, how many times can Child B and Child C blow on it in 30 seconds?
5. If Child B eats half of his lunch in his highchair and half of it on the floor under his highchair, is his immune system better than or equal to Child C's?
Example Answers:
1. 18 hours
2. 13 seconds
3. Comes out the other end....hopefully!
4. Eleventy billion!
5. Equal

See what I mean? No red tape!
