26. Acrobatic Germs?

Michael was playing in my sink. Next to my sink, above the trash can is my towel.

Michael wiped his nose on my towel.

Frustrated, I say,  "Michael, don't wipe your nose on my towel. I use it for my face. I don't want your boogers on my towel!"

Michael responds calmly, "That's okay mom, the germs will jump in the trash can."

Allllright!!!!

After he finishes playing in the water, he wipes his hands on my towel.
I tell him "Michael, please put the towel in the laundry basket."

"Why?"

"Because it has your boogers on it."

Michael, again, responds calmly, "Don't worry mom, grandma will wash it in the washing machine."

The voice of reason... again...
