I don't know how parents can be germaphobes. Maybe it's just because I'm not one to wipe my doorknobs and grocery cart handles, so I therefore categorize myself as a non-phobic of germs sort of parent. After watching my infant crawl all over the hospital waiting room and/or doctor's office, touching everything in sight only to immediately stick his finger in my mouth (on more than one occasion), I can only imagine the horror a germaphobic mother would endure in such a situation. That being said, if you are a germaphobic mother, please do not read any further.
If you are not, but want to try something fun, read on.
Go the the public library. Look for a germaphobic parent (most likely a mother). She will be wiping things down with an antibiotic moistened cloth and/or telling her child(ren) not to put things in their mouth(s). Say this to her: "Really, the safest way to keep germs off the children is to not bring them to the library at all! As a matter of fact, we wouldn't be here right now, except my child is quite sick already, so I figured he wouldn't catch anything else if we came here!" Then, try to get your child to sneeze on her child(ren) on cue. Then giggle.
