YUCK!

This might be snobby of me, but I don't care... This morning Libby and I were at Wal-Mart. When we got to the check-out, there was a family behind me: mom or maybe grandma (I couldn't tell) and 3 kids probably ranging in age from about 9 to 2. The little girl, who I guess was maybe 7, just walked right up to the front of my cart and started looking at and touching Libby's face and hands trying to play with her. Mom/Grandma said and did nothing to stop this. To make it worse this child was FILTHY - she had dirt caked on her hands and smelled like she hadn't had a bath in several days if not longer and she's touching my child's face! Libby was trying to pull away from her but the girl didn't get the hint. Then the little girl started asking me why I was buying the things that were in the cart! I really wanted to turn around and tell mom/grandma the get her kid away from me and my clean little girl. Finally when I'm loading up the cart with my bags to leave the mom/grandma tells the girl to knock it off and leave Libby alone. Needless to say, when we got back to the car I germ-xed Libby's hands and face!

Now, I know that I work with kids like this at school but they are not in my daughter's face and that's what really grossed me out. I feel like maybe I ought to carry Lysol in my bag just in case a dirty kid comes around I can spray them down.
