Be a Germ Stopper

Friday's Random Fact: The flu (even H1N1) can be prevented by frequent hand washing, covering one's cough, and by using tissues.

This is common knowledge. I can tell because when I was in Wal-Mart today buying a case of Kleenex, vats of hand sanitizer, and lots of those bleach-soaked desk scrubbers, I had the following conversation with the cashier:

Me: This is for a school. It's tax exempt. The number is 5...
Cashier: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (the actual number {which I can't publish}).
Me: How did you know that?
Cashier: Half the people in my line have been teachers from your district buying Kleenex and hand sanitizer.

Woot! Ready for the school year!

My kids have been warned and are given the following items because I am a freak...germx handsanitizer...each boy in school gets one, we refill as needed, water bottles to be refilled at home and scrubbed once a week because I am afraid of meningitis, more hand sanitizer, cause well, they're boys.
