It's Time for Panic. IT'S PANIC TIME.

AM COMPLETELY COMPLETELY PANICKING ABOUT MY CHILD TRICK-OR-TREATING IN A COUPLE HOURS


ALL THOSE LITTLE TINY GRUBBY HANDS IN ALL THOSE BUCKETS OF CANDY


SO MANY HANDS


COVERED WITH SO MANY BUM-BUM GERMS


OH GOD ALL THE BUM-BUM GERMS


ON ALL THE HANDS


THE SNEEZES


THE RUNNY NOSES


GERMS ALL OVER THE CANDY


ALL THE GERMS


ALL THE GERMS


SOMEONE TALK ME DOWN

    so buy her some candy you approve of that hasn't been touched by others & when she gets home, switch her stuff for what you bought, wash her up good & walah!

    Thankfully all the candy comes in wrappers, and all the wrappers can be disinfected. Right? :)

    Sherilin: Just seems like a waste of "good" candy.

    Ches: I would be afraid the Clorox wipes or spray would seep in or something. Plus there's 93284029372950 pieces. ;)

    Intermix some Zicam tablets with her candy. Tell her they're "really big Smarties". :)

    How'd it go?? What did you do with all the candy? I thought of you ask Caius was eating his bum bum germ candy last night. :)

    Well, I let her do it. That's good, right? It helped that most of the time, it was the person holding the bowl who dropped the candy into the kids' buckets, not the kids who reached in. So it was mainly just one person's hand germs, not a huge plethora of kids' hand germs. But still, that was enough hand germs for me to get totally squicked about.

    I just posted about how I'm still going to have to wash after touching any of it. I don't see a reasonable way to clean it.

    But anyway, we went trick-or-treating, so at least I managed that. And I'll give her some candy, but I'll still worry about the germs.

    I'm glad you didn't trick or treat in our neighborhood then - I'd say about 75% of the houses let the kids reach into the bowl and grab the candy. Caius was so used to it that by the 3rd or 4th house he automatically reached into the bowl to grab the candy after he said "trick or treat!".

    Yeah, we went to the local town center where we just went from business to business, and they dropped the candy in all the kids' baskets, with a few exceptions where the kids got to reach in.

    Then we came home and had a few trick-or-treaters here and let them reach into the bowl (what was I thinking?) so that whole bowl is "tainted."

    We didn't let kids reach for the candy at our house---of course, we also only bought one big bag of candy, so we wanted to control the rationing it out. I promise my hands were clean. :)
