Annadrose I agree with you 100 percent I am also a total neat freak and hate hate germs. Your not a idiot at all please hon do not call yourself that at all.When you seriously think about how many people visit the stores each day and hold on to the cart you do not know what is in there hands. That is why I always carry wipes and hand santizer just to be safe. Also hon I remember when my kids were small I was always freaking out if someone wanted to kiss my brand new babies no way no how. I know we cannot as parents when our kids were small be able to protect them very every germ, but again we tried very hard. Peace. CAtherine
