microbe madness

You would think that as a card carrying germaphobe these guys would freak me out, but I love them! Maybe it's because now I can see my enemies.
I was thinking of getting one for my son, but I think it actually would bother me to see him snuggling up to the ebola virus. Though I don't think he would mind, I've seen him lick his shoes.
Having a child tends to compomise your defenses against germs. My borders are now wide open and it is not uncommon to find enemies such as half-chewed food on the couch. It's also harder to avoid being urinated on. That was almost never a problem before I had a son.
My wife sees my hatred of germs as a problem. She uses words like "neurotic", and "crazy". That is because she is an enemy sympathizer, I've actually seen her touch the doorknob of a public restroom. How will we win this war if people continue to give mixed signals to our enemies? I would describe myself as having taken a heroic stand against germs. You go ahead and love them if you want to , and I'll valiently continue to turn the restroom sink off with a paper towel.
