Earn a degree in Microbiology, get an obsessive-compulsive disorder for FREE
If you’ve met my wife, or most any other microbiology student/grad/PhD etc, you’ll know what I know. The longer they’ve had the knowledge, the further they deviate from normal. It all begins with hand washing. All of a sudden if you don’t wash your hands regularily, you’re going to die of the plauge. That’s just where it begins, soon you’re afraid to shake hands with people without using a hand sanitizer immediately afterwards.
Katy’s not that far along, but she has progressed to refusing the common cup at church. This one just strikes me as funny. First of all, if God wanted to kill you, I think he can come up with a lot better ways to do it than through one of the sacrements. You are the omnipotent Creator of the universe; you’ve got plauges of locus, lightning and disembowlement at your disposal. Would you really choose a dinky little cup of wine? Second, the alcohol content of the wine has to help to a degree to kill germs. Third, worst case scenario you’re going to get a few sniffles. It’s not like we have ebola roaming around the midwest.
Things got worse this week when we passed the bread around in church rather than having it distributed directly by the pastor. Way too many people touching the bread. All I can say is that I’m glad my will is in order after a near death experience like that.
I give her a lot of crap, but you have to love her. Like she say’s “I’m cute.”

She also says “I’ll cut you”. I’d just never imagined that the cut might not be the punishment, but merely a way into my body for the actual retribution, one of the millions of bacteria floaing around which could make me deathly ill. That fiend.

Katy was scaring me before, but now . . . Fuel on the fire man, fuel on the fire.

And how come she never comments on this blog. Does she even read the stuff you say about her?
