*admits to being a mild germaphobe*

I've turned into a mild one too LOL.  I think college did that to me though, not children.  Just walking through my nasty apartment building last year gave me the compulsion to wash my hands, even if I didn't touch anything LOL.

Unfortunately, there's not a smiley to properly imitate it here.

Aw crud...

Will you make a flash animation to show it to me then?

People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But they forget the negative side, which is the preening.

LOL In all my years of fieldwork and student teaching I had my first vomiter last month in a 4th grade class I was subbing in. Surprisingly I took it quite well considering I don't do well with that stuff.

Aww... I haven't had to deal with one of those yet.  The most I've gotten on me so far is brown paint.  Luckily it wasn't on the back of my pants. :D

I'll do it like the 00Carter intro, except it'll be a series of boogers traveling across the screen... and then inside the big booger, the silhouette of a little boy wiping his snot all over his shirt... and then snot will drain all down the screen like the blood. :D

Yea usually it does for me too, but I just tried not to look at it and I let the students face away or move up closer so they didn't have to be around it. I was quite proud of myself actually
