My daughter is in preschool, so that’s where I got screwed. LOL

Ah, that makes sense. The question about how much time I spend around kids was kind of tricky. I mean, I’m around my son ALL the time but since we homeschool we don’t get exposed to a lot of other peoples’ germs on a daily basis. (We do, however, seem to come down with a cold every time we go somewhere in public, particularly if I take him to the McDonald’s that has the ball pit.)

I came in with about two million, most of which I suspect are hiding under the space bar.

Um, should I ask why there in particular?

I only have 1.4 million – I feel so clean!

Rounding up, I’m at about 1.9M. Like you, Kate, I’m at home most of the time with my son, who is always at home. Even when I’m at the office, I hibernate in my office and rarely venture out to chat with the masses.

I always say that when the masses cease being unwashed I’ll be happy to venture forth among them. Until then, I’m pretty happy staying home in my PJs and fuzzy leopard print slippers.

VH just took the test and came up with 2.9 million germs on his home computer. His response? “Well, so what? If you can’t see them they can’t be all THAT bad.”

And people wonder why I *heart* my martinis.

Every time I’ve pulled off the keytops to scrub underneath, it’s always dirtiest under the spacebar. It’s near the bottom, so maybe gravity; it’s near the center, so maybe centripetal force.

Phew. That’s SUCH a better explanation that what my mind had dreamed up.

twice as gross as Kate…but we knew that.
