Sick and tired of having kids who are sick and tired? Face it, all of the hand sanitizer in the world isn't going to protect your child from the big bad germs out there all the time. There's nothing more frustrating than sending your child on a playdate only to find out that your child's play pal has the creeping crud or some unthinkable stomach virus that's likely to blow through your entire household like Grant blew through Richmond. In a best case scenario, most parents will be considerate enough not to bring their sick children around yours when they're under the weather. In the worst-case scenario, they will. Of course, there's always the off chance that the child might be coming down with something that has yet to surface. So at the end of the day, prevention is your best weapon.
